Abstract

Plants are known as a source of secondary metabolites and have been used as antimicrobials in human health, animal health and crop protection. With the development of organic agriculture, new methods have been developed to innovate with plant extracts as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides in agriculture. The aim of this chapter is to review the literature on potential plants that could be used to develop new natural fungicides to combat foodborne fungal contamination. It will describe of the most cited plants as antifungal in agriculture, methods extraction and antifungal tests. Then, it will present newly discovered compounds from plants as effective antimicrobial agents in food manufacturing.
