Abstract

Taking the brine of Xiangpai brined products as the research object, the microorganisms producing aflatoxin (AFs) during storage were screened and identified, and the toxin-producing ability was determined. The plate dilution coating method and ultraviolet fluorescence method were used to screen the toxin-producing microorganism in Xiangpai brine. The ITS sequences of the preliminarily screened strains were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The sequencing results by NCBI homology comparison and the phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA6.0 software for molecular biological identification. HPLC-MS/MS was used to detect the content of AFs and to determine the toxin-producing ability of toxin-producing strains. Five toxin-producing strains were screened and identified by plate dilution coating method, ultraviolet fluorescence method, and molecular biology. Four strains were Aspergillus flavus and one strain was Aspergillus parasiticus. None of the four A. flavus strains produced AFs based on the result of HPLC-MS/MS, but the A. parasiticus produced AFB1 and AFG1. The contents of AFB1 on the 3rd and 7th days were 6.92 μg/L and 8.08 μg/L, respectively. The contents of AFG1 on the 3rd and 7th days were 5.80 μg/L and 7.24 μg/L, respectively. Aspergillus producing AFs exists in Xiangpai brine due to improper storage conditions, and it is vulnerable to the influence of moldy raw materials and environment, which warns the safety risk of AFs pollution in Xiangpai brined products.
