Ochratoxin formation in Aspergillus ochraceus with particular reference to spoilage of coffee.

Productio of ochratoxin on media by 8 isolates of Aspergillus ochraceus from coffee or its processing environment in India, Indonesia, Kenya and Brazil, and seven Brazilian isolates from other commodities, was compared with yields in shaken fermentation on shredded wheat and coffe. Shredded wheat most consisitently allowed production of OA and OB in yields up to 3.5% of the dry product. Culture on artificial media was an unreliable predictor of ochratoxin yield on both shredded wheat and coffee. Coffee was a relatively poor substrate for OA production, particularly when sterilised.
