The antifungal activity of spice extracts obtained from caraway seed, garlic and origanum was tested against Eurotium herbariorum, E. amstelodami, Aspergillus flavus and A. sydowii. Caraway seed extract has been proved to possess the highest inhibitory effect on all investigated mould species. The concentrations of caraway extract, sufficient to inhibite the growth completely were: 0.5% for E. herbariorum, E. amstelodami and A. sydowii, and 1% for A. flavus; of garlic, 1% for Eurotium spp. and 2% for A. sydowii, and of origanum, 1% for E. herbariorum and 2% for E. amstelodami. The results of colonies diameter measuring showed that garlic and origanum extracts have no significant supressing ability on micellar growth of A. flavus, while garlic was more efficiency in other test cultures.
