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.
