Inhibition of aflatoxin-producing fungi by Welsh onion extracts.

Welsh onion ethanol extracts were tested for their inhibitory activity agasinst the growth and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus.  Mycelial growth of both fungi cultured on yeast extract sucrose broth was completely inhibited in the presence of the extract at a concentration of 10 g/L during 30 days of incubation at 25°C.  The extracts inhibited aflatoxin production at a concentration of 10 g/L and permitted only a small amount of aflatoxin production at 5 g/L after 2 weeks incubation.
