Bags were shaken thoroughly for even mixing of peels with rice grains and stored for 9 months,
one set at
25 C and other at 30 C. After stipulated intervals rice grains were
analyzed for the presence of aflatoxins. Untreated rice bags (without
addition of fruit peels) stored under similar conditions were
used as control. The inhibitory effect of peels on aflatoxins synthesis
was estimated from the difference in amount of aflatoxins
produced in treated samples compared to control.
