Use of Probiotics to Control Aflatoxin Production in Peanut Grains

Table 3

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 combinations of S. cerevisiae UFMG 905, S. boulardii, and L. delbrueckii UFV H2b20. AP = A. parasiticus.

Assays	Average deviation	Reduction (%)
Control (AP)	15,187.2 a ± 3,957.0	—
L. delbrueckii + S. cerevisiae × AP	5,062.1 b ± 3,695.0	66.7
S. boulardii + S. cerevisiae × AP	4,389.4 b ± 334.7	71.1
S. boulardii + L. delbrueckii × AP	589.4 c ± 516.6	96.1

Different letters indicate significant differences according to Tukey’s test ().
