In order to survey the distribution of molds in Korean Ginseng and its products, molds were isolated from their sample to obtain 22 strains. Among them, 3 strains were found to produce aflatoxin and identified as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus paraciticus and Penicillium puberulum. The type of aflatoxin produce was identified as $B_1$, $B_2$ and $G_1$.
