Article Synopsis
- Heat-resistant fungal conidia, particularly Aspergillus tubingensis and Aspergillus flavus, are problematic contaminants in wheat grain spawn despite standard sterilization techniques like heating.
- The study explored alternative sterilization methods using NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) and cold plasma, analyzing their effectiveness through various spectroscopy techniques and microscopy.
- Results indicated that these methods could significantly reduce conidia size and contamination, potentially shortening sterilization time for wheat spawn production to just 30 seconds.
