Abstract

Background: Fungal contamination in food and beverages, including fruit juices, poses significant health risks. Specific Background: This study investigates the extent of fungal contamination in fresh raisin juice collected from Mosul City and its suburbs, including Bashiqa, Al-Hamdaniya, Bartella, Al-Shekhan, Aqra, and Dohuk, over a period from January 2023 to April 2024. Knowledge Gap: Despite the potential for fungal contamination in fruit juices, detailed analyses of specific contamination rates and fungal species in this region have been lacking. Aims: The study aimed to identify and quantify fungal contamination in fresh raisin juice samples using Potato Dextrose Agar and Sabouraud Sucrose Agar, and to characterize the fungal isolates morphologically, biochemically, and molecularly. Results: Of the 40 samples tested, 100% were contaminated with fungi, yielding 121 isolates of various species. The highest contamination rates were observed for Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp., each constituting 27.3% of isolates. Other notable contaminants included Wickerhamomyces anomalus (12.39%), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (11.57%), and Rhodotorula spp. (8.26%). Additionally, lower rates of contamination were found for Penicillium spp., Exophiala dermatitidis, and several other species. Novelty: The study revealed a high prevalence of fungal contamination, including the identification of a novel Candida oleophila strain (GenBank accession PP961930.1). Implications: These findings highlight the significant fungal contamination in fresh raisin juice, which could have implications for food safety and quality control. The identification of specific fungal species and the novel strain underscores the need for stringent monitoring and improved processing practices to mitigate contamination risks.

Abstract

Elected(40) a random sample of raisin juice from both sides of Mosul city (right and left) and its suburbs, which included the areas of Bashiqa, Al-Hamdaniya, Bartella, Al-Shekhan, Aqra and Dohuk, for the period from January 2023 to April 2024, to detect the extent of contamination of these samples with fungi and yeasts using the culture media Potato Dextrose Agar and Sabouraud Sucrose Agar. The results of the culture of the samples showed that there were fungi that grew on the two media and others that grew on one media.
