Peanut paste is widely used in the preparation of many traditional dishes consumed by local populations. However, its sanitary quality may be compromised by fungal contamination occurring during processing or storage. This study aimed to determine the fungal flora of peanut paste marketed in the city of Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire. A total of thirty (30) peanut paste samples, representing two varieties, with fifteen (15) samples collected from each variety, were obtained from two markets in Korhogo. The analyses included the determination of pH and moisture content of the collected samples. In addition, mold counts were determined by culture on agar medium. Finally, the isolated molds were identified phenotypically based on the observation of their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. The pH values ranged from 6.47 to 6.50, whereas the moisture content varied from 2.63% to 8.50%. Mold counts ranged from 2.01 to 2.60 log₁₀ CFU/g in Virginia peanut paste samples and from 2.43 to 2.68 log₁₀ CFU/g in Valencia peanut paste samples. Three fungal species, namely Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Rhizopus sp., were identified in the analyzed samples. The presence of these mold species may constitute a potential health risk to consumers. These findings highlight the need to strengthen good hygiene, processing, and storage practices in order to improve the sanitary quality of peanut paste marketed in Korhogo.
