  abstract = {{T}he mycotoxin contamination in foods has become a growing threat and aroused many researches in science area. {A}ccording to the food control authorities, {O}chratoxin {A} ({OTA}) is among mycotoxins priority of food contaminants. {T}he current work focuses on coffee cherries quality environment in {I}vory {C}oast. {T}he neglecting of good agricultural practices would lead to recurrent contamination of ivorian coffee in mycotoxinogen fungi and mycotoxin. {W}e investigated and sampled during the post-harvest drying process of {R}obusta coffee bean, brought from {I}vory {C}oast in 2008 and 2009. {M}orphological identification of total fungal flora and the determination of {OTA} producers of {A}spergillus section {N}igri have been performed. {T}he reliability of the overall evaluated fungal contamination is estimated at 97%, being 7.03 in one coffee sample package of 300 g. {S}trains were isolated on potato dextrose agar ({PDA}) by the direct plating technique, and were grown at 25°{C}. {M}orphological study was performed using macroscopic and microscopic morphological characters. {F}rom the two hundred and eighteen strains of fungi isolated, the following were identified: {A}spergillus section {N}igri, {A}spergillus section {F}umigati, {P}enicillium, {M}ucor, {F}usarium amongst others. {A}spergillus section {N}igri was found to be the most important group representing 52% of the population. {W}ithin this section {OTA} production was evaluated on czapeck yeast agar ({CYA}) and quantify by {H}igh-performance liquid chromatography ({HPLC}). {T}wenty percent of produced detectable {OTA} with concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 56 µg/g of agar medium. {T}he objectives of this study is to define the risk contamination in post-harvest fungi on coffee.},
