This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee convened to evaluate safety various food additives, including flavouring agents, with view recommending acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and preparing specifications for identity purity. The also evaluated risk posed by two contaminants, aim advising on management options purpose public health protection. first part contains general discussion principles governing toxicological evaluation assessment intake additives...
Aspergillus flavus , like approximately one–third of ascomycete fungi, is thought to be cosmopolitan and clonal because it has uniform asexual morphology. A. produces aflatoxin on nuts, grains, cotton, assumptions about its life history are being used develop strategies for biological control. We tested the clonality conspecificity in a sample 31 Australian isolates by assaying restriction site polymorphisms from 11 protein encoding genes DNA sequences five those genes. fell into two...
Overgrowth by spreading molds such as Rhizopus and Mucor species is a problem with fungal enumeration media used for foods. Thirty-one antifungal compounds were surveyed their ability to selectively inhibit fungi while allowing growth of mycotoxigenic other significance in food spoilage. Dichloran (2,6 dichloro-4-nitroaniline) restricted stolonifer satisfactory the test molds. Three encountered that not inhibited dichloran; these controlled addition rose bengal. The optimal medium,...
A low water activity (alpha omega) medium (0.95 alpha containing 18% (wt/wt) glycerol and 2 micrograms of dichloran per ml was developed for enumerating the fungal flora dried semidried foods. The medium, designated DG18, shown to be significantly better than Christensen malt salt agar when both media were tested with foodstuffs pure culture inocula. need a reduced omega xerophilic fungi from low-moisture foods demonstrated by comparing counts obtained on high-alpha low-alpha media.
An effective selective medium for the enumeration of Aspergillus flavus and parasiticus has been developed by modification Bothast Fennell's Differential Medium. Results can be obtained with new medium, Agar (AFPA), after 42 h incubation at 30°C. The is thus suitable use in quality control as a guide to presence A. and, potentially, aflatoxins. AFPA extensively tested on peanuts soils. were reproducible comparable those standard fungal media incubated much longer periods. A very low...
Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for researchers in recognising distinct genera the terminal fusarioid clade of family Nectriaceae. Thus, an alternate hypothesis, namely a very broad concept genus Fusarium was proposed. In doing so, however, significant body data supports Nectriaceae based on morphology, biology, and phylogeny is disregarded. A DNA 19 orthologous protein-coding genes presented to support at F1 node Here, we demonstrate...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Antarctica , Cladosporium arenosum marine sediment sand. Argentina Kosmimatamyces alatophylus (incl. gen. nov.) soil. Australia Aspergillus banksianus kumbius luteorubrus malvicolor and nanangensis soil, Erysiphe medicaginis leaves Medicago polymorpha Hymenotorrendiella communis on leaf litter Eucalyptus bicostata Lactifluus albopicri austropiperatus Macalpinomyces collinsiae Eriachne benthamii...
Growth of commonly occurring filamentous fungi in foods may result production mycotoxins, which can cause a variety ill effects humans, from allergic responses to immunosuppression and cancer. According experts, five kinds mycotoxins are important human health around the world: aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, certain trichothecenes, zearalenone. These toxins produced by only few species fungi, limited range commodities. Aflatoxins potent carcinogens, Aspergillus flavus A. parasiticus...
