The effect of nine different oils was evaluated on the growth of Aspergillus parasiticus and Fusarium moniliforme. The experimental design to examine the inhibition of mycotoxins involved the incorporation of each of seven oils into broth and patty cultures. The fungal mycotoxin was identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Clove oil (eugenol) was the most inhibitory to the growth of A. parasiticus and F. moniliforme, followed by cinnamon (cinnamic aldehyde), oregano (thymol and carvacol) and mace oils (myristin). Neem and eucalyptus oil (cineole) did not affect fungal growth. The feasibility of implementing the results of this study to control mycotoxin toxicity was examined by costoring whole and ground cloves with mycotoxin-infected grain. Addition of both whole and ground cloves markedly reduced the aflatoxin contamination of the grain. These results clearly suggest that commonly occurring mycotoxigenic fungi can be controlled with clove oil (eugenol), thus spice oil successfully inhibited the growth of A. parasiticus and F. moniliforme, regulated the production of fumonisins. and prevented the formation of aflatoxins. The social implication of this finding is that rural communities can prevent the formation of fungal toxins in contaminated grain by simple measures.
评估了九种不同的油对寄生曲霉和串珠镰刀菌生长的影响。检测霉菌毒素抑制作用的实验设计包括将七种油分别添加到肉汤和肉饼培养物中。通过高压液相色谱法鉴定真菌霉菌毒素。丁香油（丁香酚）对寄生曲霉和串珠镰刀菌的生长抑制作用最强，其次是肉桂（肉桂醛）、牛至（百里香酚和香芹酚）和肉豆蔻油（肉豆蔻脂）。印楝油和桉叶油（桉叶素）不影响真菌生长。通过将完整丁香和磨碎的丁香与受霉菌毒素污染的谷物共同储存，研究了将本研究结果用于控制霉菌毒素毒性的可行性。添加完整丁香和磨碎的丁香均显著降低了谷物中的黄曲霉毒素污染。这些结果清楚地表明，常见的产毒真菌可用丁香油（丁香酚）控制，因此香精油成功抑制了寄生曲霉和串珠镰刀菌的生长，调节了伏马毒素的产生，并防止了黄曲霉毒素的形成。这一发现的社会意义在于农村社区可以通过简单措施防止受污染谷物中真菌毒素的形成。
