Abstract
16 different muesli components were studied for mould contamination an d their qualitative mycobiota on three media. High counts of moulds we re found in hazelnuts, cashew kernels, sunflower seeds, cornflakes, pe anuts and almonds. Linseeds, raisins and different kinds of grain prod ucts showed lower contamination. The fungal flora consisted of 60 diff erent species belonging to 21 genera. Penicillium (19 species), Asperg illus (11 species) and Eurotium (4 species), together with the Mucorac eae, predominated.
