摘要: Twenty naturally infected ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizomes displaying visible mold growth were examined to identify the fungi and evaluate presence of fungal secondary metabolites. Penicillium brevicompactum was predominant species isolated from 85% samples. Mycophenolic acid identified corresponding tissue extracts. Because mycophenolic is a potent immunosuppressant synergistic mycotoxicosis studies involving human consumption have not been carried out on this metabolite, spoilage commercially marketed produce caused by P. concern. This first reported occurrence in sold plant food products.
