Abstract
By consuming food the human body is constantly exposed to microorganisms and their metabolic products. Some of these microorganisms are essential for processes like the digestion in the colon while others are contaminants forming toxic substances or even are pathogenic. Microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi are common contaminants leading to spoilage of food. Metabolic components of these organisms cause food borne diseases, allergic reaction and even cancer in humans (Mucke and Lemmen, 1999). Filamentous fungi are the slowest growing organisms of these groups. The presence of fungi in food or food sources may lead to the production of (and therefore contamination with) mycotoxins. Long storage under inconvenient conditions and late detection of fungi might be some reasons why food or food sources can become contaminated by mycotoxins. The consumer detects fungi and their metabolites as contaminants in food by occurrence of mycelia and changes in odour and taste.
