Abstract
Fumonisins are an important class of mycotoxin due to its wide distribution, health hazard, and economic significance. In the current study, clove oil nanoemulsion was investigated to reduce the load of fumonisin from the maize kernels. The fabricated nanoemulsion of 103 nm size range efficiently reduced the growth of Fusarium proliferatum sp. and HPLC data confirms the reduction in the load of fumonisin B1 and B2 to the maximum recommended level by European Union. Further, clove oil nanoemulsion was electrosprayed to form a ready to use formulation with a core shell matrix. Denatured whey protein has been used as wall material and 96.25% encapsulation efficiencywas achieved. . The improved antifungal activity on maize kernel and ready-to-use prototype has future possibilities to be scaled up at industrial scale. Thus, the encapsulated material can be used as a preventive measure to reduce the fumonisin load during storage conditions.
