Abstract:
The effect on aflatoxin production in Aspergillus flavus-inoculated corn, cottonseed, and peanuts in static culture in the presence of gaseous phase C6 to C9 alkenals was investigated. Aflatoxin B1 production was stimulated in corn at the lowest alkenal concentration (1-microliters level) tested. Aflatoxin B1 was completely eliminated at the highest alkenal concentrations (20-microliters level) tested in both treated corn and cottonseed cultures.
