Food industries are facing a great challenge due to contamination of food products with different microbes such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, etc. These deteriorate items by producing toxins during pre- and postharvest processing. Mycotoxins one the most potent well-studied toxic contaminants fungal origin, causing severe health hazard humans. The application synthetic chemicals preservatives poses real scourge in present scenario their bio-incompatibility, non-biodegradability,...
The study reports chemically characterised Myristica fragrans essential oil (MFEO) as plant based food preservative against fungal and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination of scented rice varieties. chemical profile MFEO revealed elemicin (27.08%), myristicine (21.29%) thujanol (18.55%) major components. minimum inhibitory concentrations were 2.75 1.5 mg/ml, respectively. was efficacious a broad spectrum deteriorating fungi. caused decrease in ergosterol content plasma membrane enhanced leakage...
