• Abstract

  Alternatives to synthetic pesticides used in agriculture, including in grains storage, have been thoroughly studied worldwide. Among several possibilities of natural compound sources, essential oils are an alternative with a rich variety of bioactive compounds. The essential oils to be studied in this research will be extracted from leaves of Baccharis dracunculifolia and Lippia sidoides,…

  Evaluation of antifungal activity of the essential oils from Baccharis dracunculifolia and Lippia sidoides on fungal growth and aflatoxin B1 production by Aspergillus flavus, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The main cause of stored grains deterioration is due to fungal growth. The fungal growth can result in a decrease of nutritional and commercial value, and can also promote the occurrence of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are harmful to animals and human beings that may consume contaminated grains. One of the main techniques to control fungal growth in stored grains has been the use of fungicides.…

  Evaluation of antifungal capacity of essential oil from leaves of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus on mould of stored grains, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Contamination of maize with fumonisins is a current global concern. This mycotoxin has been shown to be toxic to livestock and probably also for humans. Occurrence data in various regions of the world and in Brazil show a high frequency of occurrence of this mycotoxin mainly in maize and derivatives. In Brazil, the Brazilian Sanitary Surveillance Agency, established through a resolution o…
