Aflatoxin, a naturally occurring mycotoxin, produced by Aspergillus parasiticus infects peanuts and many other legumes. Mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus sp., during pre and postharvest period needs to be controlled to reduce major economic losses. One of the most investigated mycotoxin is aflatoxin-B1 (AFB1), is produced by Aspergillus. Inhibition of Versicolorin B synthase (vbs) enzyme in aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway will control the aflatoxin synthesis. The two natural compounds, allicin and ajoene have strong antifungal effect and the ability to inhibit the formation of mycotoxins. The...
