Influence of water activity and temperature on the accumulation of zearalenone in corn

The influence of water activity (aw) and temperature on the zearalenone biosynthesis in corn has been examined. Viable corn kernels were conditioned at different values of water activity (0.90, 0.95 and 0.97), inoculated with Fusarium graminearum and incubated at different temperatures. Zearalenone...
