Different extracts of carrot seeds, leaves, and roots were evaluated for their effectiveness inhibition on some groups of microorganism fungal growth and reducing the production of aflatoxins. Ethanol, Chloroform, and water showed effects against some groups of microorganisms which contaminated wheat products. Water and chloroform extracts of yellow carrot leaves showed the most effect against feacal group. Water, ethanol and chloroform extracts from carrot seeds, leaves, and root reduced the fungal growth rate of Penicillum funiculosum, Fusarium compactum, fusarium chlamydosporum, Fusarium monilliforme, fusarium roseum, Aspergillas niger, Aspergillus fumagatus, Fusarium solani. No aflatoxin was produced by fungi in wheat samples treated by extracts of carrot seeds, herbs, and roots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
