Abstract
Aflatoxins (AFs) are mycotoxins that are known to be hepatocarcinogenic and immunosuppressive. These toxins are primarily produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and can have detrimental effects on humans and other organisms. To address this issue, the use of essential oils (EOs) and their bioactive components has been recognized as a green strategy and safer alternative to synthetic chemicals for combatting Aspergillus flavus spoilage and AFs contamination in food systems. This review focused on the EOs and their components with great antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic properties. The mechanisms by which EOs impact fungal growth and AFs production are also summarized. Furthermore, future perspectives on the application of EOs are discussed.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Nano Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to applications of nanomaterials. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important applications of nanomaterials.
