Optimization of Aflatoxin Production of Aspergillus flavus on Peanuts

To optimize aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus on peanut, the response surface methodology were applied based on previous experiment. The results showed that the influence of water content of peanuts,time and relative humidity were obvious and were not linear relationship. The optimal aflatoxin production conditions were that water content of peanuts was12%, the time was 7 days, relative humidity was 80%.
