Design of a melting curve analysis (MCA) based on multiplex real-time PCR for detection of Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus fumigatus in cereals and oilseeds samples

This study developed a fast molecular test to detect harmful fungi (Aspergillus species) in grains and seeds. Traditional fungal identification takes 3-5 days, but the new PCR-based method can produce results in hours. Testing 140 grain and seed samples, the new method successfully identified two dangerous Aspergillus species that produce toxic compounds harmful to human health. This advancement helps ensure food safety by enabling quicker detection of contamination in food production facilities.
