These fungi are detrimental to human health, this study was therefore carried out to isolate, characterize and identify the fungi species in spoiled tomatoes. Tomato fruits sold in different areas in Talata Mafara, Zamfara State Nigeria were used for this study. Pathogenic test results showed that Aspergillus Fumigatus had the highest decay diameter of 20mm in healthy tomato fruits while Aspergillus Flavus had the lowest decay diameter of 16mm. Proper handling and adequate storage, facilities must therefore be employed to prolong the shelf life of tomato fruits. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
