Experimental Report on High Concentration Porduetion of Aflatoxin B1 Induced by Sorbic Acid

The effect of sorbic acid,aworldwide utilized food pre-servative,on the produetion of aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁)was studied. The results showed that sorbic acid of 0.10% concent ration inhibited the growth of Asperigillus flavus,0.05% concen-tration delayed the production of AFB₁. Little amount of AFB₁ were found insamples with 0.0125% sorbic acid after eulturing for 7 days and increase dgradually the reafter.
