Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
An investigation of mycoflora was carried out from market samples of fresh fruit of Phyllanthus emblica L., an important medicinal plant of India. The samples were collected from various wholesale and retail shops as well as orchards of Jammu province. A total of 25 fungal species representing 12 genera were recovered by using surface washing technique. Presence of low pH and sugars and high content of moisture and vitamin C and other nutrients in the fresh fruit of P. emblica were the prominent factors which made it prone to such a large number of mycopathogens. Assessment of mycobial load of P. emblica showed the presence of many such fungal species that are widely acknowledged as the most important mycotoxin producers. Lack of proper knowledge and use of unscientific methods of collection and storage of these fresh fruits of amla leads to their contamination. In view of the detected mycobial contamination, an urgent need for proper collection and storage of amla fruit is ardently required.
