Each year, significant economic losses of food product occur due to fungal contamination, most notably mold spoilage. Often working in combi- nation with yeast and bacteria, molds are essen- tial in the production of numerous indigenous fermented foods and are heavily used in industri- al processes to produce organic acids and en- zymes. Under certain conditions, however, some molds may produce mycotoxins, which are toxic to man and animals health.
