Researchers created three new porphyrin compounds that effectively kill fungal infections like Candida and athlete’s foot fungi. These compounds can also generate singlet oxygen when exposed to light, making them potentially useful for photodynamic therapy treatments. Testing showed they inhibited fungal growth at relatively low concentrations, suggesting they could become new antifungal medications.

Natural Antimicrobial Compounds as Promising Preservatives: A Look at an Old Problem from New Perspectives

This review examines natural alternatives to synthetic food preservatives, which are increasingly recognized as potentially harmful. Natural antimicrobial compounds from plants, fungi, and other sources can effectively prevent food spoilage and bacterial contamination. New technologies using light and ultrasound can enhance these natural compounds’ effectiveness. While promising, these natural preservatives need more research and regulatory approval before widespread industrial use.
