Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying fungal species responsible for spoilage in sliced bread and assessing the effectiveness of antifungal proteins (AFPs) derived from fungi against these species.
- The main fungal culprits identified were various Penicillium species, including P. roqueforti and P. chrysogenum, as well as some Aspergillus species.
- Among the AFPs tested, PdAfpB and PeAfpA exhibited strong antifungal properties, with PdAfpB showing notable efficacy in reducing spoilage fungal growth in bread, indicating its potential as a natural preservative to extend shelf life.
