Abstract

The fungal population growing on dry-cured meat products contributes to the desired characteristics of the product, but it also poses a hazard to consumers due to mycotoxigenic strains. A strain of Penicillium has been selected to control them because of the production of a peptide that shows strong antifungal activity against these undesired molds.
