dc.descriptionGrain and seeds or Iliany cereals any be contaminated with mycotoxins during harvesting and storing therefore control should be introduced over the presence of mycotoxins and other toxigenic fungi in the products of plant origin. Since it is rather difficult to identify mycotoxins and aflatoxins, in particular in the infected grain it will be expedient to test those grain lots for toxicity which were either spontaneously heated or were infected with micro-fungi. The fungi-infected and self-heated grain can be identified by the smell, colour luatre, and the visible fungi growing process.
