Popis: Different extracts of carrot seeds, leaves, and roots were evaluated for their effectiveness inhibition on some groups of microorganism fungal growth and reducing the production of aflatoxins. Ethanol, Chloroform, and water showed effects against some groups of microorganisms which contaminated wheat products. Water and chloroform extracts of yellow carrot leaves showed the most effect against feacal group. Water, ethanol and chloroform extracts from carrot seeds, leaves, and root reduced the fungal growth rate of Penicillum funiculosum, Fusarium compactum, fusarium chlamydosporum, Fusarium monilliforme, fusarium roseum, Aspergillas niger, Aspergillus fumagatus, Fusarium solani. No aflatoxin was produced by fungi in wheat samples treated by extracts of carrot seeds, herbs, and roots.
