| FoodMold is designed for the non-specialist that has to deal with foodborne mold identification to determine the cause of product spoilage or potential mycotoxin production as related to food safety. No other interactive CD to identify foodborne molds in the market has the high quality and accuracy of FoodMold. FoodMold includes all the commonly occurring foodborne fungi describing more than 50 genera and more than 150 species:
- 20 species of Aspergillus
- 32 species of Penicillium
- 16 species of Fusarium
- Heat resistant molds Xerophiles, and a wide range of other genera. |
It has 20 specially written keys to genera and species. These keys use characters such as colony diameter, color of the colony and spore size. Taxonomic keys in FoodMold are navigated by clicking buttons. Some of the simple keys are purely pictorial, while the more complex include both text and pictures.
Development of this program was supported by the USDA SBIR program, grant number 2006-33610-17327.
