Plant volatile compounds have great potential for preventing and controlling fungal spoilage in post-harvest grains. Recently, we have reported the antifungal effects of trans-anethole, the main volatile constituent of the Illicium verum fruit, on Aspergillus flavus. In this study, the inhibitory mechanisms of trans-anethole against the growth of A.

Article Synopsis
- Fungal spoilage of grains is a significant concern for food safety, human health, and the economic value of crops, necessitating effective postharvest management.
- Fumigation using natural gaseous fungicides, particularly biogenic volatiles from microbes and plants, shows promise in controlling fungal contamination in stored grains.
- The review highlights the antifungal mechanisms of these biogenic volatiles and suggests further research to optimize their use in managing postharvest grain spoilage.
