Comments This study is an excellent piece of work where the authors investigated the preservative effect of essential oils against food contaminating toxigenic Aspergillus fungi. The in vitro antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activity of essential oils was evaluated using poisoned food techniques, spore germination assay, agar dilution assay, and aflatoxin arresting assay on toxigenic strains of Aspergillus species., Details on Page S380
