Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic and carcinogenic metabolite produced by Aspergillus species on food and agricultural commodities. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the inhibition of growth Aspergillus flavus E73 (A. flavus E73) and AFB1 production by Cuminum cyminum L. (C. cyminum L.) and Coriandrum sativum L. (C. sativum L.) essential oils (EOs) as well their antioxidant and phytotoxicity activities.
