Abstract
Interaction of heat and radiation treatments on the survival of conidia of Aspergillus flavus was studied, using five different temperatures, ranging from 35 °C to 55 °C, and five different doses, ranging from 25 to 125 Krad. In most combinations these treatments showed a synergistic rather than simply an additive lethal effect. The extent of synergism depended considerably on the sequence in which these treatments were applied. Heating at 45 °C, 50 °C or 55 °C followed immediately by irradiation was the most effective synergistic combination for the inactivation of conidia.
