Abstract

Cavoxin is a tetrasubstituted phytotoxic chalcone and cavoxone is the correponding chroman-4-one, bothproduced in vitro by Phoma cava, a fungus isolated from chestnut. Cavoxin showed biofungicidepotential against fungal species responsible of food molding. Therefore, cavoxin has potential to beincorporated into biopolymer to generate a so called "intelligent food packaging". To reach this objectivethe large scale production of cavoxin by P. cava fermentation need to be optimized. A rapid and efficientmethod for cavoxin analysis, as well as of cavoxone, in the fungal culture filtrates and thecorresponding organic extracts is the first experimental step. Thus, a HPLC method was developed andapplied to quantify cavoxin and cavoxone production in two different fungal culture conditions. Theanalysis proved that cavoxin production in stirred culture filtrates is significantly higher than in staticones.
