The Volatilomes of <i>Penicillium crustosum</i> G10 and <i>Penicillium solitum</i> SA.

ABSTRACT: Penicillium crustosum and Penicillium solitum are common molds known for their ability to thrive at cool temperatures and low water activities. They are frequently associated with the contamination of cheeses, pome fruits, and meats. While many strains of these species are recognized for producing bioactive metabolites, their volatile metabolism remains poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed to identify and analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by P. crustosum strain G10 and P. solitum SA. When cultivated on laboratory media, a total of 25 distinct VOCs were identified from P. crustosum G10, and 17 from P. solitum SA. The VOCs produced by G10 were classified into s
