Use only firm apples with no evidence of rot to press for cider or juice. Penicillium expansum causes soft rot of apples and produces a mycotoxin called "patulin" and is found in juiced apples that have soft rot. Depending upon how many "bad apples" are used, the juice may have an off taste and could be harmful. Just a fungus for my thought.

LOL! Now you’ve excited my eternal fear of poisoning people with my canning ;-)
I will be careful, and intrepid!

It’s theorized that the symptoms of mycotoxin ingestion in rye lead to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.
It’s also been thought to cause the outbreak in Middle Ages the disease was known as “St. Anthony’s fire,”. Heck, It’s been traced backed to causing major problems since the ancient Greeks.
I think your post is a really good heads up. Fungus among us should be avoided! Thanks!
Fungis are a whole nother story!!!

By the way: for juice, could you ‘pasteurize’ the baddies away?

But some ferment is healthy. Bacteria I guess, not fungus? I make my own kombucha. Maybe apple cinnamon should be my flavor for next week.

Reminder to all - Don’t throw out the pulp from apple pressing or jelly making. Make it into apple butter. Waste not, want not.
