Overview

This review explores the antifungal properties of metal nanoparticles against toxic fungi, suggesting their potential role in enhancing food safety.

Key Points

  • Metal nanoparticles show high reactivity and stability against toxigenic fungi and mycotoxins in food environments.
  • Research highlights the potential antifungal effects of silver and copper nanoparticles on various toxic fungi.
  • Synthesis methods and regulatory definitions present challenges for the broader application of these nanoparticles in food safety.
  • Consumer acceptance and safety concerns remain critical hurdles for integrating metal nanoparticles into the food industry.
