The effect of pathogenic fungi on the nutritional value of the black plum (Vitex doniana).

The juice of V. doniana fruits used in Nigeria for wine production contains mainly yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. coreanus, Candida albicans, Pichia sp., Torulopsis sp. and Rhodotorula sp.) and some filamentous fungi (e.g. Aspergillus niger, Fusarium moniliforme [Gibberella fujikuroi], Botryodiplodia theobromae and Penicillium chrysogenum). Pathogenicity tests showed that the fungi penetrated the fruits through bruises and wounds and resulted in decreases in total sugar, crude protein, total nitrogen and mineral contents. Significant increases in the concentrations of ascorbic acid, biotin and thiamine were also observed.
