Abstract

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of cotton cake from the Republic of Tajikistan, including the determination of the content of mycotoxins, analysis of the affection of microscopic fungi and assessment of the potential for their toxin formation. The ability to produce mycotoxins has been established for 11 species of micromycetes belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Scopulariopsis and Trichothecium. Alternariaol, zearalenone, fumonisins, aflatoxin B1, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin A, citrinin and emodin were identified in the composition of oil cake contaminants. The prospects for further research and the practical significance of the results are discussed.
