At 1 and 2% of basil EO, the in vitro
D10 value was 0.43 and 0.31 kGy respectively for A. niger and 0.44 and 0.34 kGy respectively for
P. chrysogenum. In inoculated rice, D10 values for controls (sample without EO) were 0.67 and 0.63 kGy for
A. niger and P. chrysogenum respectively, and the values were decreased at higher EO concentrations.
