. 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.
