The growth of food spoilage and food-borne pathogens on/in
food can decrease nutritional quality of the food by consuming
fat, protein and carbohydrate that are present in the food,
subsequently causes food discoloration, heating, mustiness, biochemical
changes, weight loss and toxicity. Some species of
them are able to produce highly toxic compounds which can
adversely affect the health of humans (Li and Yi, 2003; You,
2006).
