The antifungal efficacy of nerol (NEL) has been proved against  Aspergillus flavus  by using  in vitro  and  in vivo  tests. The mycelial growth of  A. flavus  was completely inhibited at concentrations of 0.8   μ  L/mL and 0.1   μ  L/mL NEL in the air at contact and vapor conditions, respectively. The NEL also had an evident inhibitory effect on spore germination in  A. flavus  along with NEL concentration as well as time-dependent kinetic inhibition. The NEL presented noticeable inhibition on dry mycelium weight and synthesis of aflatoxin B 1  (AFB 1 ) by  A. flavus , totally restraining AFB 1  production at 0.6   μ  L/mL. In real food system, the efficacy of the NEL on resistance to decay development in cherry tomatoes was investigated  in vivo  by exposing inoculated and control fruit groups to NEL vapor at different concentration. NEL vapors at 0.1   μ  L/mL air concentration significantly reduced artificially contaminated  A. flavus  and a broad spectrum of fungal microbiota. Results obtained from presented study showed that the NEL had a great antifungal activity and could be considered as a benefit and safe tool to control food spoilage.
