Abstract
Phytic acid inhibition of Aspergillus flavus aflatoxin B-1 production is well observed. Although this fungus grew well in Czapak-Dox: medium , mycotoxin production was eliminated by adding a small amount of phyt ic acid. Possible reasons are discussed, and the importance of some me tallic ions is observed. Results suggested that phytate may be an effe ctive anti-AFB(1) agent for preventing the contamination of the fungus .
