Nanocomposites: synergistic nanotools for management of mycotoxigenic fungi
Original language description
Mycotoxins represent a significant health risk for both humans and animals. They are produced by some fungi and belong to very serious food and feed contaminants. Mycotoxin-producing fungi can grow in fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, nuts, etc., and the occurrence of these fungi is increasingly widespread due to changing environmental conditions; thus, they cause notable yield losses. This chapter briefly describes adverse effects of harmful mycotoxins (e.g., aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1, ochratoxin, patulin, zearalenone, and candidalysin) on human health. As various nanosystems are frequently used as potent antifungal agents, the main objective of this contribution is to summarize recent findings related to nanocomposites (NCPs) based on organic polymeric and inorganic matrices or hybrid materials as effective antifungal agents. Attention is devoted to fungicidal NCPs effective especially against Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp., Alternaria sp., Penicillium sp., and Candida albicans. Benefits of the applications of these fungicide NCPs in the field for the prevention of yield loss and in postharvest management are discussed, and the protection of cultural heritage against fungi is briefly mentioned.
