Penicillium digitatum (/ ˌ p ɛ n ɪ ˈ s ɪ l i əm ˌ d ɪ dʒ ɪ ˈ t eɪ t əm /) is a mesophilic fungus found in the soil of citrus-producing areas. [1] [2] [3] It is a major source of post-harvest decay in fruits and is responsible for the widespread post-harvest disease in Citrus fruit known as green rot or green mould.
Penicillium expansum, a pathogen of apples and other fruit, produces patulin; Penicillium glabrum; Penicillium glaucum, a mold that is used in the making of some types of blue cheese, including Bleu de Gex, Rochebaron, and some varieties of Bleu d'Auvergne and Gorgonzola. Penicillium imranianum; Penicillium italicum, a Citrus pathogen ...
For example, endophyte microorganisms found inside guarana seeds and rhizospheric soil have shown their ability to fight harmful pathogens, making them promising candidates for BCAs. BCAs are applied during both preharvest and postharvest stages to protect crops like citrus, bananas, peaches, and strawberries.
Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food.This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage; pathogens that may cause disease (especially if food is improperly cooked or stored); microbes used to produce fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine; and microbes with other useful roles, such as producing ...
Examples of ascomycetes include Penicillium species on cheeses and those producing antibiotics for treating bacterial infectious diseases. Many ascomycetes are pathogens, both of animals, including humans, and of plants.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new definition of “healthy” food for the first time in 30 years. The new definition will apply to manufacturers who want to call their ...
In 2022 the World Health Organization (WHO) published a list of fungal pathogens which should be a priority for public health action. [4] Markedly more fungi are known to be pathogenic to plant life than those of the animal kingdom. [5] The study of fungi and other organisms pathogenic to plants is called plant pathology.
Really, the bad-for-you-foods we imagine when we think about food processing are actually ultra-processed foods such as frozen pizza, potato chips, ready-made meals, and cookies.
