Inhibition of aflatoxin production & growth of Aspergillus flavus by eugenol & onion & garlic extracts

K S Bilgrami et al. Indian J Med Res. 1992 Jun.

Abstract

Efficacy of natural non-toxic materials including extracts of onion and garlic as well as eugenol was tested against aflatoxin production by A. flavus in liquid SMKY medium and in maize grains. Maximum inhibition in the mycelial growth occurred with garlic extract (61.94%), whereas inhibition of aflatoxin production was highest (60.44%) due to onion extract. Eugenol was most suitable for inhibiting aflatoxin production (60.35%) on maize grains.
