Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the fungal contaminants of garri in Dutsinma metropolis. A total of 150 samples were bought at random, 75 each of white and red garri from three different markets including Wednesday market, Abuja road market and Old market respectively. The fungi isolated using standard microbiological techniques were Alternaria spp. (3.7%), Aspergillus spp. (14.8%), Cladosporium spp. (27.8%), Fusarium spp. (9.3%), Mucor spp. (12.9%), Penicillium spp. (16.7%) and Rhizopus spp. (14.8%) in white garri. For yellow garri: Alternaria spp. (2.9%), Aspergillus spp. (8.8%), Cladosporium spp. (29.4%), Fusarium spp. (8.8%), Mucor spp. (11.8%), Penicillium spp. (20.6%) and Rhizopus spp. (17.6%) with Cladosporium and Rhizopus recording the highest occurrence in both white and yellow garri. Higher fungi species were isolated from white garri (54) compared to yellow (34) samples. Moisture content recorded showed higher content in white garri than in the yellow garri. Identification of the isolated fungi based on their morphological and cultural characteristics was carried out. The results show that consumers are exposed to the risk of aflatoxin poisoning. Efforts should therefore be made to improve the quality of Cassava farina by addressing its handling and processing practices.

杜西马市附近出售的Garri的真菌感染

摘要本研究旨在测定杜辛马市garri的真菌污染物。随机从周三市场、阿布贾道路市场和老市场三个不同市场购买白garri和红garri各75个样本，共150个样本。标准微生物学技术检出的真菌有:白腐腐腐腐菌(3.7%)、曲霉菌(14.8%)、枝孢菌(27.8%)、镰刀菌(9.3%)、毛霉菌(12.9%)、青霉菌(16.7%)和根霉(14.8%)。黄色garri中:交替菌属(2.9%)、曲霉属(8.8%)、枝孢菌属(29.4%)、镰刀菌属(8.8%)、毛霉属(11.8%)、青霉属(20.6%)和根霉属(17.6%)，其中枝孢菌属和根霉属在白色garri和黄色garri中的发病率最高。从白色garri(54)中分离到的真菌种类比从黄色garri(34)中分离到的真菌种类更多。水分含量记录显示，白色格栅鱼的水分含量高于黄色格栅鱼。根据真菌的形态和培养特征对分离真菌进行了鉴定。结果显示，消费者面临黄曲霉毒素中毒的风险。因此，应努力通过处理和加工方法来提高木薯粉的质量。
