Inhibitory effects of some spice essential oils on Aspergillus ochraceus NRRL 3174 growth and ochratoxin A production.

Inhibitory effects of essential oils of oregano (Origanum vulgare), mint (Mentaarvensis). Basil (Ocimum basilicum) sage (Salvia officinalis) and coriander (Coriandrum Sativum), on the mycelial growth and OA Production by Aspergillus ochraceus were studiedied.  At 1000 mg/kg, oregano and mint completely inhibited fungal growth and OA production up to 21 days, while basil was only effective up to 7 days.  At 750 mg/kg, oregano was completely effective up to 14 days, whereas mint allowed fun gal growth but no OA production up to 14 days.  Sage and coriander showed no important effect at any of the concentrations studied.
