The estimation of aflatoxins during 9 months of storage
revealed that at both storage conditions the inhibitory potential
of peels decreased with increase in incubation period up to
9 months. The inhibitory effect of pomegranate peel (20%) at high
level of temperature and moisture (30 C, 21%) decreased from 89%
to 54% and from 100% to 67%, respectively during 9 months of
storage; while at lower storage condition (25 C,18%) decline in
inhibition was less (100–78% and 100–97%) for aflatoxin B1 and
B2, respectively. Whereas, for lemon peels (20%) the inhibitory
