dc.description.abstractThe present investigation explored the antifungal effectiveness of Trachyspermum ammi essential oil (TAEO) against Aspergillus flavus, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination, and its mechanism of action using biochemical and computational approaches. The GC�MS result revealed the chemical diversity of TAEO with the highest percentage of ?-terpinene (39 %). The TAEO exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration against A. flavus growth (0.5 �L/mL) and AFB1 (0.4 �L/mL) with radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 2.13 �L/mL). The mechanism of action of TAEO was associated with the alteration in plasma membrane functioning, antioxidative defense, and carbon source catabolism. The molecular dynamic result shows the multi-regime binding of ?-terpinene with the target proteins (Nor1, Omt1, and Vbs) of AFB1 biosynthesis. Furthermore, TAEO exhibited remarkable in-situ protection of Sorghum bicolor seed samples against A. flavus and AFB1 contamination and protected the nutritional deterioration. Hence, the study recommends TAEO as a natural antifungal agent for food protection against A. flavus mediated biodeterioration. � 2024 Elsevier Ltd
