The hazardous nature of aflatoxins to human and animals necessitate the need for establishment of control measures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibition of growth and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus strain (ATCC 16872) by various essential oils in Yeast Extract Sucrose (YES) growth media at 25°C. Essential oils of basil, fennel, coriander, caraway, peppermint and rosemary were tested for their effects on mycelial growth and aflatoxin production. Aflatoxin B1 production was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The findings of this study revealed the antifungal efficacy of the all tested essential oils. The extent of inhibition of fungal growth and aflatoxin production was dependent on the type and concentration of essential oils used. The complete inhibition of Aspergillus flavus growth was observed at 1000 ppm concentrations of essential oils of basil, coriander, caraway and rosemary. While, essential oils of basil and coriander showed marked inhibition of aflatoxin B1 produced by Aspergillus flavus at all concentrations tested 500,750 and 1000 ppm.

“…The essential oil of summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) inhibited the mycelial growth of phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria mali and Botrytis cinerea, and exhibited a fungicidal effect [7]. Also, the oil showed strong antifungal activity against A. flavus under in vitro, storage conditions [15], in liquid medium and in tomato paste [16] and inhibited the growth and aflatoxin (AFB1 and AFG1) production by A. parasiticus [17]. In this paper, 30 bacterial clinical isolates from 10 genera were tested by the antibiogram method, using 15 standard antibiotics.…”

Essential oil of Satureja hortensis L. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS and tested by a broth micro-well dilution method for activity against multiresistant clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria from 10 different genera: Klebsiella, Escherichia, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Citrobacter and Acinetobacter. The main compounds in the oil were carvacrol (67%), γ-terpinene (15.3%) and p-cymene (6.73%). The oil showed activity against all tested strains. MIC/MBC values were in the range of 0.78-25 μl/ml, with the exception of the strain P. aeruginosa. Microbicidal concentration for this particular strain (50 μl/ml) was the highest tested concentration. The oil showed inhibitory and bactericidal effect at the same concentration (MIC=MBC) for all but three strains.

“…the dominant component of this oil, carvacrol, is able to inhibit aflatoxin production by A. Parasiticus (23) and A. flavus in liquid medium and tomato paste (10,21). the same authors suggested that carvacrol may be useful to control aflatoxin contamination of susceptible crops in the field.…”
