Inhibitory Effect of Essential Oils on Aspergillus ochraceus Growth and Ochratoxin A Production
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin which is a common contaminant in grains during storage. Aspergillus ochraceus is the most common producer of OTA. Essential oils play a crucial role as a biocontrol in the reduction of fungal contamination. Essential oils namely natural cinnamaldehyde, cinnamon oil, synthetic cinnamaldehyde, Litsea citrate oil, citral, eugenol, peppermint, eucalyptus, anise and...
متن کاملOchratoxin production by the Aspergillus ochraceus group and Aspergillus alliaceus.
Ochratoxin A is a toxic and carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolite; its presence in foods is increasingly regulated. Various fungi are known to produce ochratoxins, but it is not known which species produce ochratoxins consistently and which species cause ochratoxin contamination of various crops. We isolated fungi in the Aspergillus ochraceus group (section Circumdati) and Aspergillus alliac...
متن کاملOCCURRENCE OF A MYCOTOXIN, OCHRATOXIN A, IN WHEAT AND ISOLATION OF OCHRATOXIN A AND CITRININ PRODUCING STRAINS OF PENICILLIUM VIRIDICATUM Ochratoxin A is a metabolite of Aspergillus ochraceus
Ochratoxin A is a metabolite of Aspergillus ochraceus Wilh. (5) and of Penicillium viridicatum Westling (8). It is highly toxic to rats and ducklings and produces liver and kidney damage (6). Both A. ochraceus and P. viridicatum have been isolated from stored grain, and ochratoxin A itself was recently found in corn (7). The presence of this toxin in rolled wheat used as livestock feed is repor...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of Aspergillus ochraceus ZMPBF 318 and Penicillium expansum ZMPBF 565 by four essential oils.
Fungi produce a large variety of extracellular proteins, organic acids, and other metabolites and can adapt to several environmental conditions. Mycotoxin-producing moulds of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium are common food contaminants. One of the natural ways to protect food from mould contamination is to use essential oils. In this study, we evaluated the effect of essential oils of ci...
متن کاملEssential Oils Modulate Gene Expression and Ochratoxin A Production in Aspergillus carbonarius
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin, mainly produced on grapes by Aspergillus carbonarius, that causes massive health problems for humans. This study aims to reduce the occurrence of OTA by using the ten following essential oils (E.Os): fennel, cardamom, anise, chamomile, celery, cinnamon, thyme, taramira, oregano and rosemary at 1 µL/mL and 5 µL/mL for each E.O.As a matter of fact, their effects...
