摘要

<span "="" style="line-height:1.5;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A comparative study of Fungi (yeast and moulds) and their toxic metabolites was carried out on offal and muscles of freshly fried and stored </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sallah</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> meats from rams, bulls, goats and camels slaughtered for sacrifice in Danbatta Local Government Area, Kano State, Nigeria. The objective was to determine the effects of frying and four weeks storage at ambient temperatures on the mycological loads of the fried and stored meats. A total of seventy two (72) samples of muscles and offal were collected from six different and randomly selected households that slaughtered and fried any of the four animals during that period. The samples were analyzed immediately as freshly fried, and then stored for a period of four weeks during which analyses were conducted at the second and fourth weeks. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare between the fungal loads and the toxin contents in the stored meat. Results revealed the presence of </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Mucor</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Rhizopus stolonifer</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Aspergillus nig</span></i></span><i style="line-height:1.5;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">er</span></i><span "="" style="line-height:1.5;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Saccharomycetes</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Penicilium spp</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> and </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aspergillus flavus</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">;and that, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aspergillus flavus </span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Mucor </s
