Use of predictive modelling as tool for prevention of fungal spoilage at different points of the food chain

Moulds cause severe economic losses at different points of plant food commodities production, from the field to final foodstuffs. Predictive modelling is an increasingly used tool applied solve issues in production. In this opinion, we have dealt, one hand, with latest publications on predictive mycology for early prediction fungal spoilage foods, as well assessing efficacy antimicrobials foods. Moreover, models been assess impact that climate change may near future terms geographic distribution and mycotoxin occurrence. Finally, there a growing interest analysing growth contamination cereals nuts using infrared spectrometry models. All these cases exemplify increasing assist decision making chain.
