In vitro effect of phenolic antioxidants on germination, growth and aflatoxin B accumulation by peanut Aspergillus section Flavi.

Abstract：

AIMS:The effectiveness of the food-grade antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), trihydroxybutyrophenone (THB), propyl paraben (PP) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) at 1, 10 and 20 mmol l(-1) concentrations on germination, growth, and aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)) production by Aspergillus section Flavi strains was determined. METHODS AND RESULTS:Assays on the lag phase of germination, germination percentage, germ tube elongation rate, lag phase, growth rate and AFB(1) production by three strains of Aspergillus flavus and three of Aspergillus parasiticus were carried out in vitro on peanut extract meal agar conditioned at different water activities (a(w): 0.982, 0.971, 0.955, 0.937). The antioxidants PP and BHA efficiently inhibited the germination of the two species tested at the doses 10 and 20 mmol(-1). The antioxidants PP and BHA at 1 mmol l(-1) and THB at 20 mmol l(-1) reduced the germ tube elongation rate most effectively, regardless of a(w) levels. An increase in the lag time and a reduction in the growth rate of 100% of the strains was observed, this was due to the action of BHT at the doses 10 and 20 mmol(-1) at 0.982, 0.971 and 0.955 a(w), although these treatments stimulated the AFB(1) accumulation in most of the fungi tested. The more effective antioxidants were PP and BHA, which increased the lag phase, reduced the growth rate and AFB(1) production in all of the strains at the four a(w) assayed. At concentrations 10 and 20 mmol l(-1), these antioxidants totally inhibited fungal development. CONCLUSIONS:The study shows that the antioxidants BHA and PP are effective fungal inhibitors to peanut Aspergillus section Flavi in wide range of water activity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY:The results suggest that phenolic antioxidants, BHA and PP, can be effective fungitoxicants on aflatoxigenic strains in peanut at industrial level.
