"A survey was conducted in Nairobi, Nyanza and Western provinces in Kenya between March and July\r\n2009 with 1263 peanut products sampled out of which 705 samples underwent microbial analysis. The\r\nstudy aimed at determining the incidence of fungal species e emphasis on Aspergillus section Flavi e\r\nassociated with peanut products. A 0.5 kg representative sample was obtained from each surveyed\r\nvendor and the colony forming units (CFU) of fungal species determined. The samples were also analyzed\r\nfor total aflatoxin level while isolates of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus were screened for\r\nproduction of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2. Eight fungal species were detected in the samples and were in\r\ndecreasing order of CFU/g of sample: A. flavus S-strain (467), A. flavus L-strain (341), Penicillium spp.\r\n(326), Aspergillus niger (156), Aspergillus tamari (27), Aspergillus alliaceus (21), A. parasiticus (10), and\r\nAspergillus caelatus (5). The overall incidence of A. flavus S-strain in samples from Nairobi was 92 and\r\n1425% higher than samples from Nyanza and Western regions, respectively. The combined incidence of\r\nA. flavus and A. parasiticus was varied significantly (p ≤ 0.05) with peanut product: peanut flour (69%),\r\nshelled raw peanuts (53%), spoilt peanuts (49%), boiled podded peanuts (45%), podded peanuts (39%),\r\npeanut butter (31%), fried peanuts (22%) and roasted peanuts (20%). Seventy three percent of A. flavus\r\nand A. parasiticus isolates produced at least one of the aflatoxin types, with 66% producing aflatoxin B1.\r\nThe total aflatoxin level among peanut products ranged from 0 to 1629 mg/g; and there was a positive\r\ncorrelation (r ¼ 0.2711) between the incidence of A. flavus and A. parasiticus, and total aflatoxin level. The\r\nhigh incidence of aflatoxin producing fungi in peanuts traded in Kenyan markets implies a risk of aflatoxin contamination, highlighting the need for stakeholders to promote sound practices at all stages of\r\nthe peanut value chain in order to minimize market access by non-complying products."^^ .
