Ochratoxin A and aflatoxin may be detected from naturally fermented foods due to the contamination of the mycotoxin-producing molds or un-prudential use of the mycotoxin producing starter strains during the fermentation. This study was carried out to analyze the production of ochratoxin A and aflatoxin under the various environmental conditions. For the experiment, the effects of different temperature, culture media, and fermentation time on the production of ochratoxin A by Aspergillus usamii KFRI 999 and A. awamori KFRI 983 were analyzed. Additionally, the production of aflatoxin was assessed under the various temperature, initial pH, fermentation time and culture media during fermentation by A. flavus KACC 41403 and A. oryzae KACC 46471. The levels of ochratoxin A and aflatoxin were analyzed by HPLC. The result showed that the production of mycotoxin was greatly affected by the fermentation temperature. A. oryzae KACC 46471 did not produce aflatoxin. All of the mycotoxin producing strains showed the highest level of mycotoxin at 30Celsius. A. awamori KFRI 983 showed the lowest level of ochratoxin A in PDA media among the experimental medium. The results of the present study may be useful for the reduction of ochratoxin A and aflatoxin in various foods.
