The Analysis of S.C. Crops for the Prevalence of Mold and the Reduction of Aflatoxins By Ozone

Objective

The hypothesis is that the prevalence of mold and aflatoxin contamination will vary among the farms and crops tested in S.C. The goal of the study is to analyze the incidence of mold and aflatoxin contamination on wheat, soybean, and cottonseed crops obtained from S.C. farms. Moreover, the effectiveness of ozone for contamination purposes will be tested.
