Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine and quantitative the mycotoxins produce by Alternaria and Fusarium chlamydosporum and Penicillium isolated from different dry fruits by using HPLC. The results showed that F. chlamydosporum one isolate from dry fig and tow isolates from raisins, Fusarium species can producing many mycotoxinauch as Fumonisin, Zearalenone, DON, T-2, Neosolaniol and HT-2. While, Penicillium one isolate identified as P. italicum that isolated from raisins and tow isolates P. digitatum can producing many mycotoxin such as penicillic acid, citreoviridin, citrinin and patulin. Alternaria alternata which isolated from date and raisins can produce mycotoxins Altenuene and Alternariol by concentration 49, 32 for Altenuene and 25 and 19 for Alternariol.
