dc.description.abstractSpice oils are known to exhibit antifungal activity and therefore have the potential to control mycotoxin production. There is a need in the food industry to find measures to control mycotoxins that are frequently associated with grains that form the staple diet of the majority of the population in South Africa. Clove, cinnamon, oregano, tumeric, eucalyptus, neem, aniseed, mace and nutmeg oils were tested to determine their inhibitory potential against growth of Aspergillus parasiticus and Fusarium moniliforme using the agar overlay technique. Varying concentrations of the spice oils, ranging from 0.1 ppm to 2.0 ppm, were incorporated into broth cultures of A. parasiticus and maize patty cultures ofF. moniliforme. Levels of production of aflatoxins and fumonisin were determined using standard thin layer chromatography and highpressure liquid chromatography methods. In addition, the active component of the spice oils were isolated, characterised and tested. The inhibitory potential of these compounds for field use was tested by incorporating clove oil, whole cloves and ground cloves in sampen_US
