摘要：At the current moment cereals represent the main food source as well for humans as for animals. In the previous years, the cereal global production has been facing disastrous effects induced by many toxicogenic species. Their impact manifests in favourable attack conditions, especially through massive reduction of the harvest. According to the FAO (F ood and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) there is an annual loss of more than 20% of the world's cereal harvest. The main part of this loss is due to insect activity and mould growth. The current practice has proven that the influence of secondary metabolites (mycotoxins), which come as a result of the infection, upon the seed quality surpasses in gravity the quantitative order economical losses. The cereal diseases produced by moulds have the greatest implications towards reducing the harvest, reducing the technological properties of the grains and also due to their harmful activity for man and animal. The harmfulness of grains and of products derived from their processing is mainly determined by the presence of mycotoxins produced by moulds, which attack the plants during vegetation, harvesting or storage and are transmitted to the grains and to the processed products designed for consumption. Mycotoxins produced by different species of Aspergillus (A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A. versicolor, A. niger etc.)are known under the name of aflatoxins and are representative of secondary metabolites elaborated after the logarithmic multiplication faze of micets. They can be produced by some species of Penicillum and Rhizopus. One of the factors which has an influence on the activity of toxicogenic moulds is temperature. The current study analyzes cereals from the perspective of storage temperature influence on mycotoxins production. The laboratory analyzes done for the qualitative and quantitative determination of mycotoxins from the samples, were carried out at the Laboratory for residues belonging to Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Department Galati using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method with the Aflatoxin RIDASCREEN SET kit. The purpose of the research is to determine the cereal optimum storage temperature so as to obtain a reduction of aflatoxin development
