Abstract
Antifungal activities of Thymus eriocalyx and Thymus X-porlock essential oils were inhibitory to Aspergillus parasiticus growth and its aflatoxin production. The oils brought about irreversible damage to cell wall, cell membrane, and cellular organelles of the fungus. Low concentrations of essential oils could act as food preservatives.
