Study on association of mould in gleanings of arabica
About 2 kg samples of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) gleanings (fallen fruits) were collected to determine the presence of moulds and to study mould association with arabica gleanings. The result of the study revealed that Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp., Cladosporium sp. and yeast were dominant in all samples. Mucor sp., Rhizopus sp., Trichoderma sp., Cunninghamella sp. and Alternaria sp. were also observed in low frequency in all the gleaning samples. The presence of the ochratoxin-A producing-mould Aspergillus ochraceus was also observed on fruit surface (7-33 percent) and beans (24-30 percent).
