摘要：The present work attempts to study the storage of coconut seeds from fungi at different relative humidities during its storage. In our work both husked and dehusked coconut seeds were stored at 100C and 300C for three months. The husked seeds stored at 100C and 300C and dehusked seed at 100C showed no evidence of spoilage at the end of three months storage period. However the seeds stored at 300C showed deterioration . Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were the principal fungal agents associated with the spoilage. An investigation of the proximate composition component under consideration stored at 300C indicated some remarkable and significant results. The results and tests confirmed the ability of the isolated spoilage fungal 10 utilizes the different carbohydrate and nitrogen sources as sources of carbon andenergy. Aspergillus flavus showed the ability to grow and utilize more of the various carbohydrate sources than Aspergilus niger. Both fungi showed evidence of growth and complete utilization of nearly all the nitrogen sources except cystenine, and L. Glutamine which could not support the growth Aspergillus higer. Likewise Cistine niger in additional to D-B phenylalanine could not.These results tests confirmed the ability of the isolated spoilage fungal 10 utilizes the different carbohydrate and nitrogen sources as sources of carbon andenergy. Aspergillus flavus showed the ability to grow and utilize more of various carbohydrate sources than Aspergilus niger. Both fungi showed evidence of growth.
