Screening of some Philippine medicinal plants for aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus

Screening of some Philippine medicinal plants for aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus

Commonly-used medicinal plants sold in Quiapo, Manila were screened for contamination with aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus. Of the 40 medicinal plants screened, only two showed contamination by A. flavus. These plants are Premna odorata (alagaw) and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (gumamela). The A. f...
