In this study, we evaluated the antagonistic ability of ZZ-21 specifically against <em>C. scovillei</em> in both in vitro and pepper fruit assays, as well as the possible mechanisms involved. Dual culture assays revealed that strain ZZ-21 achieved 86.25 % mycelial inhibition rate against <em>C. scovillei</em>.

Moreover, the ZZ-21 culture filtrate obviously inhibited spore germination and damaged the cell membrane permeability of <em>C. scovillei</em>, while also inducing plant resistance by enhancing the activities of defense-related enzymes.

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are central to food fermentations wherein their metabolic activities contribute to the preservation, safety and organoleptic properties of a product. The biological pathways which underpin dairy fermentations have long been elucidated and exploited. However, it is now evident that many of the biotechnological traits which drive dairy fermentations, in particular casein hydrolysis and lactose utilisation, are not directly transferable to PMBA-substrates. Therefore, knowledge of the carbohydrate and protein composition and their metabolism by the applied starter cultures is required for the development of high quality fermented PBMA dairy analogues.

Visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) (350–2500 nm) spectroscopy was explored as a non-invasive, rapid method for detecting FL, <em>Fusarium</em> species that produce T-2 and HT-2 toxins, and T-2 and HT-2 toxins content. Oat grains were artificially inoculated with FL and other <em>Fusarium</em> species under controlled water activity (a<sub>w</sub>) conditions (0.98, 0.90, and 0.80). FL was found to be particularly responsible for producing T-2 and HT-2 toxins. Classification models were developed to distinguish oat grains based on the presence of FL. The best performance was achieved with all the Vis-NIR spectra, with a classification accuracy of 76.2 %. The Vis region (350–995 nm) emerged as the most important range for classification. Additionally, oat grains were classified by T-2 and HT-2 toxin content, distinguishing oats above and below the European Union (EU) threshold with 93.3 % accuracy. For mycotoxin quantification, the best performance was obtained using the Vis region with a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) of 0.875. Key wavelengths such as 464, 568, 575 and 636 nm were relevant for toxin detection. The NIR region (1005–1795 nm) also played a significant role in the models. This study shows that Vis-NIR spectroscopy is a promising, non-destructive tool for detecting <em>Fusarium</em> and type A trichothecenes in oats, though further research is needed to improve model robustness and support food safety monitoring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14095,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food microbiology","volume":"441 ","pages":"Article 111301"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144223399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate the mechanism underlying these microbial threats and develop targeted control strategies, this study analyzed dynamic microbial profiles of Hainan areca nuts during the processing stages. Alpha diversity analysis and total fungal counts (TFC) of Hainan areca nuts were monitored during different processing stages. A significant increase in TFC (1.725 ± 0.046 Lg CFU/g) and diversity of fungal species was observed in the finished product (FP), which might be attributed to manual operation and environmental exposure during the final processing stages. Ten strains of mold with the highest TFC were isolated and further screened on the areca nut powder culture medium. Two dominant mold species were isolated and identified by phylogenetic analysis, and were demonstrated to be <em>Aspergillus ruber</em> and <em>Aspergillus ochraceus</em>. Growth curves under varying water activities (A<sub>w</sub>) indicated that the grows of two dominant mold species were inhibited at A<sub>w</sub> of 0.798 and 0.815, respectively. Reinoculation of these species in areca nut products (A<sub>w</sub> 0.80) further demonstrated that reduced A<sub>w</sub> significantly suppressed their growth rates. These results may critically contribute to the prediction and extension of the shelf-life of areca nut products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14095,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food microbiology","volume":"440 ","pages":"Article 111300"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144195080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
