AI Article Synopsis
- Byssochlamys species can spoil fruits and silages and produce the harmful mycotoxin patulin.
- Researchers studied the production of secondary metabolites by Byssochlamys nivea.
- They found mycophenolic acid and its precursors, 5-methylorsellinic acid and 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylphthalide, in all examined B. nivea strains.
Article Abstract
Byssochlamys species are responsible for spoilage and degradation of fruits and silages and can also produce the mycotoxin patulin. We analyzed secondary metabolite production by Byssochlamys nivea. Mycophenolic acid and its precursors, 5-methylorsellinic acid and 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylphthalide, were identified in all of the B. nivea strains that we examined.

Article Synopsis
- Heat-resistant molds (HRM) are a major concern for food industries as they can survive high temperatures and thrive in various environments.
- The study tested how high sugar levels, low pH, and temperature affect HRM growth, finding that while HRMs developed visible colonies quickly at certain sugar levels, they showed no growth at the highest sugar concentration (60°Brix).
- Results indicated that certain HRM strains are particularly vulnerable to low temperatures, but overall, their resilience can compromise the safety and quality of fruit products, highlighting the need for improved control measures.

Hard apple cider is considered to be a low-risk product for food spoilage and mycotoxin contamination due to its alcoholic nature and associated food sanitation measures. However, the thermotolerant mycotoxin-producing fungus Paecilomyces niveus may pose a significant threat to hard cider producers. P.

This study tested hyperbaric storage (25-150 MPa, for 30 days) at room-temperature (HS/RT, 18-23 °C) in order to control the development of ascospores in apple juice. In order to mimic commercially pasteurized juice contaminated with ascospores, thermal pasteurization (70 and 80 °C for 30 s) and nonthermal high pressure pasteurization (600 MPa for 3 min at 17 °C, HPP) took place, and the juice was afterwards placed under HS/RT conditions. Control samples were also placed in atmospheric pressure (AP) conditions at RT and were refrigerated (4 °C).

Paecilomyces rot of apples is a postharvest disease caused by , a problematic spoiling agent of fruit juices and derivatives. Processing fruits infected with Paecilomyces rot can lead to juices contaminated with ascospores. These ascospores are heat resistant and may survive food processing and germinate in finished products.

Fungi are natural degraders of organic matter which can produce enzymes for many industrial and biotechnological applications. In this context, crude enzymatic extracts of fungal isolates were evaluated regarding their hydrolytic and ligninolytic abilities. The fungal strains were isolated from soil samples from Atlantic Rain Forest Park incremented with sugar cane biomass (filter cake), which allowed the selection of efficient lignocellulolytic enzymes.
