Fungal volatile organic compounds
Original language description
Fungi are undoubtedly one of the most widespread groups of organisms on Earth. In addition to their multiple uses in various areas of human activities, fungi produce numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, amines, carbonyl and carboxyl derivatives and heterocycles. These VOCs are able to affect both the surrounding organisms and the quality of the environment. This chapter provides an up-to date overview of the most important VOCs emitted by various not only microscopic fungi (including yeasts and molds, with increased attention being paid to Trichoderma spp.), but also macroscopic fungi (mushrooms). Negative effects of mixtures of VOCs emitted by fungi as well as individual active volatile compounds on plant pathogens and insect pests are discussed, including the corresponding mechanism of action together with the beneficial effects of VOCs on plant growth and postharvest storage of crops. Attention is focused on the most important VOCs of fungi, which give them a special taste and aroma, and their use in the food industry with an emphasis on providing quality food and beverages, characterized by excellent sensory properties and extended shelf life.
