Toxigenic fungi in peanuts pose a significant threat to human and animal health. This study investigates the efficacy of ozone treatment in reducing fungal growth in peanuts and explores the ozone concentration gradient in a silo and the penetration of ozone into the grain. The results demonstrate that ozone treatment effectively inhibits fungal growth and can penetrate up to 20% of the peanut thickness.
Toxigenic fungi in peanuts cause serious damage to human and animal health; therefore, studying the forms of decontamination is imperative, and for this purpose, ozone is highlighted. This work addressed fungal deconotamination and its relationship with the ozone concentration profile in a silo and the peanut grain itself. The main fungal genera found in peanuts (Penicillium, Aspergillus and Fusarium) showed significant growth reduction (P < 0.0001) after ozone treatment. The average value of aflatoxin B1 production by Aspergillus sp. Isolated from peanut kernels was 7.4 mu g mL (1). The reduction in Aspergillus sp. Growth reached 87% within 240 min of the ozone treatment. Numerical simulation and experimental validation showed that ozone exhibits a strong conocentration gradient in the silo and penetrates the grain up to similar to 20% of peanut thickness. This study shows that there is a minimum ozone dosage to eliminate fungi and not cause lipid peroxidation on the peanut surface.
