Almond production in Portugal is of great importance for the economy of their main producing areas. However, the contamination of these nut fruits with fungi and mycotoxins poses a significant risk to food safety and security. This work intended to evaluate the influence of storage conditions on the microbial and mycotoxin stability and safety of almonds throughout long-term storage. Two almond varieties-Lauran...

Long-term transport and storage of peeled almonds under unsuitable conditions may cause the product’s rejection. To get knowledge in this topic, peeled almonds were stored at 25◦C and 60, 70, and 80% relative humidity (RH). The maintenance of high RH (80%) caused some visual defects after 4 months. Even though the 60, 70, and 80% RH did not clearly affect the production of primary and secondary products formed ...

Almond and hazelnut production in Portugal are of great importance for the economy of their main producing areas. However, the contamination of these nut fruits with fungi and mycotoxins poses a significant risk to food security. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that frequently contaminate these commodities. This work intended to evaluate the influence of storage conditions on...
