Screening of antagonistic yeast strains for postharvest control of Penicillium expansum causing blue mold decay in table grape

Nayyereh Alimadadi et al.

Summary: Blue mold decay caused by Penicillium expansum is a major postharvest disease of grapes, resulting in significant economic losses. This study aimed to identify potential yeast strains for biological control of blue mold on table grapes. Six yeast strains (Coniochaeta euphorbiae, Auerobasidium mangrovei, Tranzscheliella sp., Geotrichum candidum, Basidioascus persicus, and Cryptococcus podzolicus) showed significant inhibitory activity against P. expansum and G. candidum was the most efficient biocontrol agent.

Production of Aflatoxin B1 by Aspergillus parasiticus Grown on a Novel Meat-Based Media

Iva Zahija et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop meat-based media similar to dry-fermented meat products and evaluate their use in studying Aspergillus parasiticus growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production kinetics. The results showed that CMA2 was the most suitable meat-based medium for studying AFB1 production, with the highest AFB1 concentration observed in CMA2GYE.

Biological Control of Aspergillus flavus by the Yeast Aureobasidium pullulans In Vitro and on Tomato Fruit

Izabela Podgorska-Kryszczuk

Summary: Aspergillus flavus is a pathogenic fungus that contaminates many crops with aflatoxins. Researchers have found that two yeast strains, Aureobasidium pullulans PP4 and A. pullulans ZD1, have high potential for biological control of A. flavus. These strains inhibit mycelial growth and spore germination, produce lytic enzymes, and exhibit tolerance to various environmental conditions and fungicides. They also effectively reduce lesion diameter on tomato fruit caused by A. flavus.

Recent Insights into the Use of Antagonistic Yeasts for Sustainable Biomanagement of Postharvest Pathogenic and Mycotoxigenic Fungi in Fruits with Their Prevention Strategies against Mycotoxins

Sebahat Oztekin et al.

Summary: Fungi-induced postharvest diseases are a major cause of food loss and waste. Antagonistic yeasts provide a biological method to control decay caused by fungi and detoxify mycotoxins sustainably. This review summarizes studies on preventing phytopathogenic and mycotoxigenic fungi in fruits and their biocontrolling and biodetoxification mechanisms.

Aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A reduction by Lactobacillus spp. during bread making

Laura Escriva et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the reduction of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) during bread making by Lactobacillus strains isolated from goat milk whey. The results showed that the selected lactobacilli strains effectively reduced AFB1 and OTA, suggesting a potential biocontrol strategy for mycotoxin detoxification in bread and bakery products.

Bioaccessibility Study of Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxin A in Bread Enriched with Fermented Milk Whey and/or Pumpkin

Laura Escriva et al.

Summary: The presence of mycotoxins in cereals and cereal products is a significant issue. This study evaluated the bioaccessibility of aflatoxin B-1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin (OTA) in bread and investigated the effects of milk whey and pumpkin in reducing mycotoxins bioaccessibility. The results showed that pumpkin powder was the most effective in reducing AFB1 and OTA bioaccessibility, followed by whey, fermented whey, and the combination of pumpkin-fermented whey. These findings suggest that pumpkin and milk whey could be potential bioactive ingredients for the bakery industry.

Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3 degrades ochratoxin A by intracellular enzymes and simultaneously eliminates citrinin

Meilin Wei et al.

Summary: The study found that Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3 efficiently eliminated ochratoxin A (OTA) and converted it into non-toxic ochratoxin A (OTa) in different media. The elimination substances produced by the strain were heat stable and involved intracellular proteins. Additionally, C. podzolicus Y3 also had the ability to degrade citrinin (CIT), although the efficiency was lower than single mycotoxin degradation.

Biological Control of Plant Pathogens: A Global Perspective

Rachid Lahlali et al.

Summary: The increase in world population has resulted in higher demands for agricultural products. However, the use of chemical pesticides has caused concerns over their impact on human health and the environment. As a result, researchers have turned to biological controls using beneficial microorganisms, but the development of biofungicides has faced challenges. This review focuses on the gap between the screening of biological control agents and the availability of marketed products, and highlights the obstacles in terms of efficacy and legislation procedures.
