Abstract
Seedborne fungi of peanut cv. Giza 5. were isolated on Blotter during three storage intervals. Aspergillus flaw's, A. niger, Aspergillus spp. and Perla:urn spp. were the most frequent fungi on seeds. Aspergillus flavus ranged from 14.0 to 29.25%. On the other hand, Aspergillus niger, recorded 18.25% after 4 months storage. The lowest percentage of infection by A. niger was 11.20% after 6 months storage. Aspergillus spp. ranged from 12.50 up to 19.30% during three storage intervals. The physical and chemical properties fluctuated during the storage periods. Acid number ranged from 0.52 to 6.40 for diseased seeds, while it ranged from 0.39 to 3.50 for apparently healthy ones. Iodine number, saponification value, refractive indices and oil color recorded different degrees of fluctuation. The fatty acids composition also fluctuated for both the infected and apparently healthy seeds.
