This workwas an approach to study the individual potential efficacy
of these flavanones as natural compounds that effectively control PAT accumulation. As there were no significant differences between the
flavanones or tested molds, no further discussion could be made
about the structure of these substances or fungal strain variation on
the PAT inhibition. This possible activity against PAT of these substances
opens an interesting option for the citrus industries. As it was shown,
there is a high possibility that working with mixtures and higher concentrations
of these substances could totally inhibit PAT. So, further
experiments should be continued in order to evaluatewhether the conditions
tested adapt to different food matrices.
