Abstract
Aflatoxins, a worldwide health hazard to humans and animals, are among the most potent mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds known to be produced in nature. Various methods have been investigated for the control of aflatoxin producing fungi and aflatoxin production in agricultural products. This article reviews the application of herbal extract and essential oils for controlling the growth of aflatoxin producing fungi and aflatoxin production.
Keywords: Aflatoxin, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, herb, essential oil
