Moisture sorption isotherm for maize grains (water added ml vs water activity aw of maize).
Total fungal count (CFUs*1000/g) of maize samples at different water activity (aw) levels (control, 0.85, 0.90 and 095aw) at different storage intervals (start, 15, 30 and 45 days).
Total fusarium count (CFUs*1000/g) in maize samples at different water activity (aw) levels (control, 0.85, 0.90 and 095) at different storage time (start, 15, 30 and 45 days).
