A concept of mould spoilage prevention and acrylamide reduction in wheat bread: application of lactobacilli in combination with a cranberry coating
2018
In this study, a concept for wheat bread moulding prevention and acrylamide reduction has been developed. It includes various lactic acid bacteria (LAB), selected according to their technological, antifungal and acrylamide-lowering properties, in combination with an antifungal cranberry coating for wheat bread surface treatment. All the tested strains (Pediococcus pentosaceus LUHS183, Pediococcus acidilactici LUHS29, Lactobacillus paracasei LUHS244, Lactobacillus brevis LUHS173, Lactobacillus plantarum LUHS135 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides LUHS242) showed antifungal activities against Aspergillus nidulans, Penicillium funiculosum and Fusarium poae. However, L. brevis LUHS173 and Leu. mesent…
Bioproduction of an extract from Penicillium funiculosum Thom with activity against Ceratitis capitata and Tetranychus urticae
1993
The bioproduction conditions of a crude extract from a strain of Penicillium funiculosum Thom, which shows activity against Ceratitis capitata and Tetranychus urticae, have been optimized. The efficacy degree was 95% (C. capitata) and 100% (T. urticae), according to Abbot. This is the first report on the pesticide activity of an extract from P. funiculosum against these species. The best yields were obtained when P. funiculosum was grown in Raulin-Thom medium at pH 6.5 with sucrose candy as the carbon source and ammonium sulphate and phosphate as the nitrogen source. Other favourable conditions were static cultures, at 28 degrees C, and in the dark.
