“…[14] SMKY medium (25 mL) was taken in 100 mL flasks, to which requisite amount of test samples were added to get 0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/mL concentrations. The flasks were aseptically inoculated with suspension of toxigenic isolates of A. flavus (10 6 spores/mL, 100 µL/flask) and incubated at 28…”

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the antifungal activities of Phyllanthus polyphyllus L. leaf extract, to isolate its active constituent 4-o-methyl gallic acid (4-o-MGA), and to determine the antioxidant and antiaflatoxigenic properties. The bioassay-guided fractionation of methanol extract led to the isolation of active compound 4-o-methylgallic acid. The methanol extract showed the highest amount of phenolic content (290 mg GAE/g dry extract), which indicated the involvement of phenolic compounds in the radical scavenging activity observed by the methanol extract. The antioxidant capacity of 4-o-MGA was greater than the standard butylated hydroxytoluene, followed by methanol extract. The concentration-dependent growth inhibitory activity was observed against the tested fungi, in which the field fungi were susceptible, while the storage fungi were found to be more resistant including aflatoxigenic A. flavus. A correlation was observed between fungal biomass and aflatoxin production in control and treatment, there was a decrease in biomass of A. flavus and aflatoxin production with increasing concentration. The aflatoxin production was completely inhibited in vitro by methanol extract at 1 mg/mL and 4-o-MGA at 2 mg/mL, but the mycelial growth was not inhibited completely. The inhibition of aflatoxin production was relatively higher than the mycelial growth inhibition of A. flavus, such behaviors might have been determined by the presence of hydrolysable tannin 4-o-MGA in the extract, which is known to inhibit the aflatoxin biosynthesis. The significant antioxidant and aflatoxin inhibitory activities of P. polyphyllus could be exploited for its application in preventing oxidative deterioration and fungal spoilage of food products.

“…[13] Plant extracts are potentially useful additives for food preservation as they are likely to prolong shelf life and improve the quality of stored food products. [14] Plant extracts contain various antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols, phenols, flavonoids, etc. which could be the bioactive basis of their antimicrobial properties.…”

The alatoxins are a group of chemically similar poisonous, carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus lavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius, which are abundant in warm and humid regions of the world. They are probably the most intensively researched toxins in the world due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic efects. Alatoxins have also been identiied as a potential biological weapon for food and water contamination. The four major alatoxins commonly isolated from diferent foods and feed stufs are AFB1, AF B2, AFG1, and AFG2. Alatoxin contamination of food and feed has gained global signiicance as a result of its deleterious efects on human as well as livestock health including gastrointestinal dysfunction, reduced feed utilization, anemia, jaundice, liver damage and immunity suppression. The proitability and marketing of various agricultural products are adversely afected by either contamination of alatoxins or alatoxin-producing fungi. The foods at highest risk of alatoxin contamination are maize, chilies, peanuts, and coton seeds. There are various physical, chemical, and natural methods investigated to prevent alatoxin production and the growth of alatoxin-producing fungus in various agricultural products. Here, we describe various natural plant extracts that would be potential source of controlling alatoxin production in agricultural products.
