Fusarium species threaten yield and quality of cereals worldwide due to their ability to produce mycotoxins and cause plant diseases. Trichothecenes and zearalenone are the most economically significant mycotoxins and are of particular concern in barley, maize and wheat. For this reason, the aim of this study was to characterize the Fusarium isolates from brewing barley and to assess deoxynivalenol and zearalenone contamination in grains. Characterization of the Fusarium strains was carried out by the phylogeny based on two loci (EF-1α and RPB2). Mycotoxin detection and quantification were performed by LC-MS. The results show that Fusarium was the predominant genus. Phylogenetic study demonstrated that the majority of the strains clustered within the Fusarium sambucinum species complex followed by the Fusarium tricinctum species complex. The results revealed high incidence of deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) contamination (90.6% and 87.5%, respectively). It was observed that 86% of the samples contaminated with ZEA were above the limits set by the EU and Brazilian regulations. These results may highlight the importance of controlling Fusarium toxins in barley, mainly because of its use in the brewing industry and the resistance of various mycotoxins to food processing treatments.

Abstract. Soybeans tempeh (tempeh) is processed by fermentation using Rhizopus spp. Tempeh is an important source of protein in Indonesia. The traditional inoculum in fermentation locally is known as Usar which is made from the leaves of Hibiscus tiliaceus. However, Rhizopus information from Usar is still limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify and investigate the genetic diversity of Rhizopus species from Usar and tempeh based on the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence and the Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Twenty-three Rhizopus strains were isolated from Usar and ten Rhizopus strains were isolated from tempeh. Based on ITS sequences, the isolates were similar to R Rhizopus microsporus (30 isolates) and Rhizopus delemar (3 isolates) with 98-99% similarity. The genetics of R. microsporus and R. delemar are varied and different from the genetics of R. microsporus from tempeh. The growth temperature of R. microsporus varies from 33 to 48°C and R. delemar can grow to a maximum at 33°C. The role of R. microsporus and R. delemar from Usar in determining the quality of tempeh is still limited. Therefore, it needs to be investigated further.

Native starch from potatoes and hybrid carrageenans from the red alga Mastocarpus stellatus have been used as gluten-free gelling matrices to obtain functional hydrogels. The enrichment of gelling matrices with antioxidant compounds from natural sources is an increasing market trend. In this context, this work is aimed at the formulation and thermo-rheological characterization of functional hydrogels using potato starch from agro-industrial waste and kappa–iota hybrid carrageenans extracted from the above seaweed, enriched with antioxidant compounds from different agro-industrial products, such as waste coming from the pruning of green tea and two varieties of hops used in the brewing industry. Environmentally friendly technologies such as microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasounds and autohydrolysis were used for the recovery of antioxidant compounds. The results point out that functional hydrogels based on potato starch and hybrid carrageenans with a wide range of viscoelastic features can be achieved, with the particularity of being suitable for people with celiac disease. The incorporation of selected antioxidant extracts from vegetable by-products involved the drop (about tenfold) of the viscous and elastic properties of the formulated gels. The sequential combination of the above treatments could even further expand the thermo-rheological properties of formulated hydrogels, with potential application in functional foodstuffs and novel gluten-free goods.

Para isto, foi realizado um delineamento experimental 2x4 (linhagens x substratos), totalizando oito tratamentos. Os substratos foram preparados, esterilizados e acondicionados em pacotes de PEAD que, posteriormente, foram inoculados e incubados. Os cogumelos foram colhidos e pesados até o fim do ciclo de cultivo. Foram colhidas amostras dos substratos antes e depois do cultivo para caracterização química. Quanto ao potencial dos resíduos, levaram-se como critérios de avaliação a caracterização química dos substratos e a produção (massa de basidiomas frescos). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística. Verificou-se que para a linhagem FF de G. lucidum, o substrato que proporcionou o melhor desempenho de massa foi o suplementado com bagaço de malte (BM), resultando em uma média de 48,3g. Portanto, concluiu-se que, dentre os resíduos de cervejaria avaliados, o bagaço de malte foi o mais recomendado para o cultivo de G. lucidum.   Palavras-chave: aproveitamento, bagaço de malte, fungos.   WASTES FROM BEER INDUSTRY IN THE PRODUCTION OF NEW SUBSTRATES FOR Ganoderma lucidum MUSHROOM CULTIVATION   ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of three residues from the brewing industry (malt bagasse, yeast and protein) in the supplementation of substrates for cultivation of two Ganoderma lucidum strains (FF and M). The experimental design was a 2 x 4 (strains x substrates), totalizing 8 treatments. The substrates were prepared, sterilized and packed in HDPE, which were later inoculated and incubated. The mushrooms were harvested and weighed until the end of the cultivation cycle. Samples of substrates were taken before and after cultivation for chemical characterization. As for the potential of the residues, the chemical characterization of the substrates and the production (fresh basidiomas mass) were taken as evaluation criteria. The data were submitted to statistical analysis. It was found that for the FF strain of G. lucidum, the substrate that provided the best mass performance was supplemented with malt bagasse (MB), resulting in an average of 48.3 g. Therefore, it was concluded that, among the brewery residues evaluated, the malt bagasse was the most recommended for the cultivation of G. lucidum.   Keywords: Repurposing, malt bagasse, fungi.
