Abstract
The effect of inoculation with two fungi on soybean seeds stored at different temperatures, levels of moisture, and times were studied. The oil content and iodine value were decreased in the seeds inoculated with Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium moniliforme at 35°C and 25°C, respectively, and stored for 6 months with moisture content 12.4 and 13.9%. Inoculation of seeds with fungi and storage for two months at 5°C at 9.4 and 13.9% moisture content increased palmatic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and oleic acids (C18:1) while sharply decreased linoleic acid (C18:2). Total saturated fatty acids contents were lower in seeds inoculated with fungi than the uninoculated seeds and stored for two months at 9.4 and 13.9% moisture content. Storage of seeds for two months at 35°C and 13.9% moisture content resulted in oil deterioration.
