Use of Probiotics to Control Aflatoxin Production in Peanut Grains

Table 2

Mean aflatoxin (μg/kg) production by A. parasiticus IMI 242695 incubated for seven days at 30°C in peanut grains cultivar IAC Caiapó and perceptual reduction of aflatoxin induced by S. boulardii, S. cerevisiae UFMG 905, and L. delbrueckii UFV H2b20. AP = A. parasiticus.

Assays	Average S.D.	Reduction (%)
Control (AP)	36,695.7 a ± 14,920.8	—
S. boulardii × AP	12,538.9 b ± 9,731.9	65.8
S. cerevisiae × AP	9,981.8 b ± 2,244.4	72.8
L. delbrueckii × AP	34,265.6 a ± 6,184.2	6.6

Different letters indicate significant differences according to Tukey’s test (); S.D. = standard deviation.
