    Abstract:
    Penicillium nordicum is the main ochratoxin A (OTA)-producing species on the surface of dry-fermented sausages, such as the "chorizo". New antifungal strategies are being developed using biocontrol agents (BCAs), such as plant extracts and native microorganisms. This work aimed to evaluate the antiochratoxigenic capacity and the causative modes of action of BCAs (rosemary essential oil (REO), acorn shell extract and the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii (Dh)) in a "chorizo"-based medium (Ch-DS). BCAs were inoculated on Ch-DS together with P. nordicum and incubated at 12 °C for 15 days to collect mycelia for OTA analyses and comparative proteomics. Both REO and Dh alone decreased OTA accumulation up to 99% and affected the abundance of P. nordicum proteins linked to cell wall organisation, synthesis of OTA-related metabolites and ergosterol synthesis. It is worth highlighting the increased abundance of an amidase by REO, matching with the decrease in OTA. The use of REO and Dh as BCAs could be an effective strategy to reduce the OTA hazard in the meat industry. Based on their not fully coincident modes of action, their combined application could be of interest in "chorizo" to maximise their potential against ochratoxigenic strains.
