The effect of different concentrations of clove and cinnamon oils was studied on the growth of and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus in SMKY liquid medium. The effect of these compounds was also verified against aflatoxin production in maize. Significant reduction (P < 0.05) in the elaboration of aflatoxin in liquid culture after treatment with more than 100 μg ml‐1 of these compounds was recorded. Cinnamon oil exhibited maximum inhibitory action and reduced 78% aflatoxin formation on maize at 1000 mg kg‐1.
