Type: article

Abstract: Thiswork was designed to study the mycoflora of stored Yemeni green and roastedcoffee beans, in 50 samples (25 samples each) which were collected randomlyfrom different markets in Sana'a city, Yemen during 2013 using directplating technique. Our results showed that in the individual samples of greenand roasted coffee beans, the counts of fungi were ranging from 110 to 236 CUF/ 100 beans and 8 to 249 CUF/100 beans, respectively. As well the broadestspectrum of fungal species were 55 species and 3 varieties belonging to 13genera and 66 species and 3 varieties belonging to 23 genera in case of greenand roasted coffee beans, respectively. Aspergillus, Penicillium, andRhizopus followed by Fennelliaand Fusarium were the mostcommon genera isolated from both the two types of coffee beans samples, whereasEurotiumwas the most common genus only in roasted coffee bean samples,while it was absent in green coffee beans samples.
