Triticale, hybrid resulting from crossing wheat and rye, was evaluated as a substrate for aflatoxin accumulation in comparison with its parents. Aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1 and G2) accumulation curves were obtained for the three substrates inoculated with Aspergillus parasiticus and incubated at 25ºC and aw 0.925 for 10 weeks. Wheat and triticale were poor substrates for aflatoxin production. Rye was more prone than the other substrates to rapidcoloisation by A.parasiticus and accumulated larger aflatoxin quantities. The maximum aflatoxin concentration in rye (11.84 mg/kg) was significantly larger than those obtained in wheat (2.15 mg/kg) and triticale (2.85 mg/kg).
