Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2006, “Incidence of Penicillium and Aspergiluus spp. on Stored Coffee robusta Berries in Selected Towns of Southern Cavite'' Adviser: Adelaida E. Sangalang, Ph.D
This study was conducted to determine the incidence of Penicillium and Aspergillus spp. in stored Coffea robusta berries. Specifically it aimed to isolate Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. contaminating stored coffee berries, to determine which of the two fungi infect most on the stored coffee berry variety, and to verify which of stored coffee berries from different locations are most prone to infection by the two fungi.
Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. were isolated and identified using standard procedure. Three treatments with three replications were used in the study, namely: C. robusta berries from Indang, C. robusta berries from General E. Aguinaldo, and C. robusta berries from Mendez.
Both Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. were isolated from stored C. robusta berries. Between the two fungi, Aspergillus spp. infects most of the stored C. robusta berries. C. robusta berries from Indang had the highest occurrence of both Penicillium and Aspergillus. This means C. robusta from Indang are more prone to Penicillium and Aspergillus spp. than in Mendez and Gen. E. Aguinaldo. This might be due to the higher temperature and humidity of the town.
