Abstract
The influences of the extracts from Cinnamomi Cortex, Eucommiae Cortex, Puerariae Radix, Lycii Fructus, Zizyphi Fructus, Schisandrae Fructus, Mume Fructus, Chaenomelis Fructus on mycelial growth and aflatoxin $B_1$ production from Aspergillus parasiticus were analyzed. The pH of the culture media were reduced to below pH 4 by all the herbal extracts after 3 days incubation. However, the pH of the culture media increased above pH 6 after 6 days incubation using the extracts from Cinnamomi Cortex, Eucommiae Cortex, Puerariae Radix and Lycii Fructus. The mycelial growth of A. parasiticus was increased over the amount of the control. Puerariae Radix produced the largest amount of mycelial growth and Chaenomelis Fructus produced the smallest amount of mycelial growth. The productions of aflatoxin $B_1$ from A. parasticus culture were increased by the extracts of Puerariae Radix and Zizyphi Fructus, while inhibited by the extracts of Cinnamomi Cortex, Eucommiae Cortex, Lycii Fructus, Schisandrae Fructus, Mume Fructus and Chaenomelis Fructus. In particular, the extracts of Cinnamomi Cortex, Lycii Fructus and Schisandrae Fructus almost inhibited the production of aflatoxin $B_1$. The production of the total protein from Cinnamomi Cortex, which produced much less aflatoxin $B_1$, and Puerariae Radix, which produced a great deal of aflatoxin $B_1$ from A parasticus were slightly higher than the production of the total protein of the control medium.
