Abstract

The stability of the antifungal activity of flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) protein extract was evaluated in this study. Response surface methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken factorial design was used to evaluate the effects of treatment variables, that is, temperature (50 to 90 degrees C), time (1 to 29 min), and pH (2 to 8), on the residual antifungal activity (RAA) against Penicillium chrysogenum, Fusarium graminearum, Aspergillus flavus, and a Penicillium sp. isolated from moldy noodles. Regression analyses suggested that the linear terms of the temperature and time had significant (P < 0.05) negative effects on the RAA against all test fungi, whereas that of pH had a significant (P < 0.1) positive role on the RAA of all 3 fungi. In addition, the RAA was significantly (P < 0.05) affected by the quadratic terms of time for all fungi, and the quadratic term of temperature played a significant (P < 0.1) role on RAA against F. graminearum. One interaction term (temperature-pH) was found to significantly (P < 0.1) affect the RAA against both Penicillium strains tested. The results indicated that >or= 90% antifungal activity was lost after the protein extracts were heated at 90 degrees C for 8 min except for F. graminearum. At past...Continue Reading

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
