Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are fructose-based oligosaccharides employed as additives to improve the food's nutritional and technological properties. The rhizosphere of plants that accumulate fructopolysaccharides as inulin has been revealed as a source of filamentous fungi. These fungi can produce FOS either by inulin hydrolysis or by biosynthesis from sucrose, including unusual FOS with enhanced prebiotic properties.

- VOCs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae can inhibit plant pathogens like Phyllosticta citricarpa, the cause of citrus black spot.
- VOCs have potential as environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical fumigants for controlling plant diseases.
- A proteomic analysis revealed that exposure to these VOCs significantly affects key metabolic pathways in P. citricarpa, particularly those involved in energy production.
