Abiotic factors and their interactions influence on the co-production of aflatoxin B1 and cyclopiazonic acid by Aspergillus flavus isolated from corn
(Elsevier, 2014)The objectives of this study were i) to determine the effects of the interactions of water activity, temperature and incubation time on the co-production of AFB1 and CPA by isolates of Aspergillus flavus with different ... -
Acidification of apple and orange hosts by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium expansum.
(Elsevier, 2014)New information about virulence mechanisms of Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium expansum could be an important avenue to control fungal diseases. In this study, the ability of P. digitatum and P. expansum to enhance ... -
Actividad antioxidante, composición nutrimental y funcional de flores comestibles de Dalia
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2014)In Mexico, Dahlia flowers are commonly consumed in different type of dishes; however, there are no reports on characteristics as a functional food. Proximate composition, minerals, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, total ... -
Adhesion and invasion of Listeria monocytogenes and interaction with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG after habituation on fresh-cut pear
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017-07)Several foods are carriers of probiotic bacteria. Most species of the genus Lactobacillus are probiotics and common inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract. It is known that they contribute to the health of ... -
Aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A and zearalenone in sorghum grains marketed in Tunisia
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-02)A total of 64 samples of sorghum (37 Tunisian sorghum samples and 27 Egyptian sorghum samples) were collected during 2011 – 2012 from markets in Tunisia. Samples were analysed for contamination with aflatoxin B1, ... -
Aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in pistachios sampled in Spain: occurrence and presence of mycotoxigenic fungi
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)A survey of the fungal contamination and occurrence of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A (OTA) in 50 pistachio nutsamples collected from commercial stores around Catalonia (Spain) was carried out.Aspergillus flavuswas foundin ... -
Agricultura sostenible: detección de la podredumbre gris determinada por PCR en viñedos de Querétaro
(Consejo de Ciencia y Tecnología del Estado de Querétaro, 2016)El cultivo de la vid ha cobrado importancia en Querétaro, debido a que su producción repercute en la economía del estado; sin embargo, parte de esa producción se pierde debido a enfermedades, como la podredumbre gris, ... -
Aloe vera gel: An update on its use as a functional edible coating to preserve fruits and vegetables
(Elsevier, 2021)Aloe vera L. is a common succulent plant that has been used for centuries regarding their healing properties and health benefits. Nowadays, scientific investigations on its gel have gained more attention because of its ... -
An attempt to model the probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 production of Aspergillus flavus under non-isothermal conditions in pistachio nuts
(Elsevier, 2015)Human exposure to aflatoxins in foods is of great concern. The aim of this work was to use predictive mycology as a strategy to mitigate the aflatoxin burden in pistachio nuts postharvest. The probability of growth and ... -
An attempt to optimize potassium sorbate use to preserve low pH (4.5–5.5) intermediate moisture bakery products by modelling Eurotium spp., Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium corylophilum growth
