Title: Inhibitory effect of essential oil on aflatoxin activities

Aflatoxins are biologically active secondary metabolites produced by certain strains of Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus nominus and Aspergillus flavus. Many different substances, such as essantial oils, flavanoids, could inhibit the aflatoxin production and growth of Aspergillus. In this study, aflatoxins biosyntesis, aflatoxins damaged and aflatoxins with essential oils interaction are evaluated.Read More
