Fungi are robust organisms capable of growing on all kinds of foods, including cereals, meats and fruits. They are important spoilage organisms in different foods causing significant economic losses in the industry. Several strategies have been used, to extend the shelf life of vegetables and food such as heat treatments, irradiating the goods with infrared rays or microwaves, using modified atmospheres during packaging, or by adding chemical preservatives (such as sorbic, benzoic, and propionic acids)
