Funagl secondary growth is a common post-harvest problem when raw materials are attacked by filamentous fungi during storage, processing or handling.The antifungal protein AFP is secreted from Aspergillus giganteus.It is specifically disturbs the integrity of fungal cell walls and plasma membranes at low concentrations.The applicability of AFP at different steps during malting process, storage of some fruits and vegetables to efficiently prevent secondary growth of filamentous fungi was studied.AFP appeared to be very efficient against the main fungal contaminants.The fungal growth was...
