Regarding increasing prevalence of mycotoxins and inefficiency of methods used to decrease them, it is possible to use plants metabolites to decrease mycotoxins. The antifungal effect of Ruta graveolens on Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium sp. in vitro by disk and well diffusion and micro dilution minimum inhibitiory concentration (MIC) methods was studied. It was shown that ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Ruta graveolens inhibited Penicillium sp. growth, however, only the ethanolic extract stopped Aspergillus flavus growth.
