Abstract
Peanut is one of important food resources worldwide, and its seed quality should be preserved during storage. Chitosan has antifungal activity and good film-forming ability, and natamycin has antifungal activity. In this study, peanut seeds were treated with three dipping solutions, i.e. purified water + 100 Aspergillus flavus spores/ml (control), 1% chitosan + 100 A. flavus spores/ml (treatment-1) and 1% chitosan + 0.2% natamycin + 100 A. flavus spores/ml (treatment-2), and stored at room temperature for 12 months. All treatments decreased fungal growth, insect damage and aflatoxin B1 and increased germination power and normal seed per cent compared with the control after 12 months of storage (P < 0.05). Results showed that chitosan-based coatings incorporated with natamycin treatment might be a practical method in the preservation of peanut seeds during storage.
