Phylogeny of Aspergillus section Circumdati and inhibition of ochratoxins potential by green synthesised ZnO nanoparticles

This research studied yellow-colored fungal species that contaminate crops and can produce harmful toxins called ochratoxins. Scientists identified four different species of these fungi and found that tiny zinc oxide particles made from plant extract could reduce toxin production. The study shows promise for using these nanoparticles to protect food and agricultural products from fungal contamination.

Phylogeny of Aspergillus section Circumdati and inhibition of ochratoxins potential by green synthesised ZnO nanoparticles

Researchers identified four species of Aspergillus fungus that contaminate crops and produce poisonous compounds called ochratoxins. They found that specially made zinc oxide nanoparticles, created using an environmentally friendly method with basil extract, can significantly reduce the amount of ochratoxins produced by these fungi. This discovery could help protect agricultural products from contamination and improve food safety.
