Inhibition of Penicillium digitatum in vitro and in postharvest orange fruit by a soy protein fraction containing mainly β-conglycinin

The potential antifungal activities of a soy protein fraction containing mainly β-conglycinin and glycinin against the pathogenic fungus Penicillium digitatum, either in vitro or in situ (postharvest orange fruit), were evaluated and compared with the fungicide rhizolax. Traditional microbiological plating was used to evaluate the potential in vitro antifungal activities of the fraction containing β-conglycinin or glycinin. The probable changes...
