چکیده :

Mycotoxins or fungal toxins are secondary metabolites with low-molecular-weight biomolecules produced by fungi. They are highly toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic which causes massive health problems for humans and animals. In addition, fungal spoilage impacts food and agricultural economic state. Over the past decades, plant natural products have played an important role in the lives of human beings for their use as a source of food and medicine. The medicinal properties in plants typically result from the different combinations of these natural compounds known as phytochemicals. In recent years, the several studies use of natural compounds as natural preservatives in post-harvest management of agriculture products. In the current review, we showed that the use of natural compounds can be effect on control of growth of fungi that produce mycotoxin in agriculture products. Because of this, the use of medicinal plant compounds should be remarked for the industry as a natural biological agent for preserving quality properties and food safety in agriculture products.
