PG - 172-180 LID - S0141-8130(19)35103-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.09.089 [doi] AB - The present study reports the antifungal, aflatoxin B(1) inhibitory, and free radical scavenging activity of chitosan-based nanoencapsulatedBunium persicum Boiss. essential oil (Ne-BPEO). The chemical profile ofBPEO was identified through Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis where cuminaldehyde (21.23%), sabinene (14.66%), and gamma-terpinen (12.49%) were identified as the major compounds. Ne-BPEO was prepared using chitosan and characterised by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Atomic force microscope (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) assay. Ne-BPEO completely inhibited the growth and aflatoxin B(1) production at a concentration of 0.3 muL/mL. The antifungal and aflatoxin B(1) inhibitory effects were related to decreasing in ergosterol content, leakage of membrane ions (Ca(2+), K(+), and Mg(2+)), impairment in carbohydrate catabolism, and functioning of ver-1 gene of A. flavus exposed to Ne-BPEO over the control. In addition, Ne-BPEO exhibited promising free radical scavenging activity through DPPH assay (IC(50) 12.64 muL/mL) with high thermo-stability. Therefore, chitosan could be used as a carrier agent of plant-based preservative to enhance the shelf-life of food products against A. flavus and aflatoxin B(1) contamination.
