Implication

Randomized trial identifies fungi in fruits and assesses toxin control using Pleurotus ostreatus filtrate and calcium carbonate, suggesting effective intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify fungi in fresh and dried fruits and assess the ability to control aflatoxin-producing fungi.
  • Samples were collected from local markets in Al-Diwaniyah from February to May 2025.
  • Fungal species were isolated and identified using morphological and molecular methods, including PCR.
  • The antifungal activity of Pleurotus ostreatus filtrate and calcium carbonate was evaluated against isolated fungi.
  • The highest concentration of aflatoxin B1 found was 215.9 ppb in a dried grape sample contaminated with Aspergillus flavus.
  • Combined treatment of 30% Pleurotus ostreatus filtrate and calcium carbonate achieved 74.8% inhibition of radial growth and 70.8% reduction in dry weight of the fungus.
  • Filtrate alone resulted in 68.3% growth inhibition, while calcium carbonate alone achieved 49.1%.
