An inhibitory effect of various concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) of mint (Mentha piperita L.) and caraway (Carvum carvi L.) on the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus ochraceus was examined during 10 days of cultivation in YES medium at temperature of 25 deg C. All concentrations of mint and caraway showed a high inhibitory effect against fungal species tested (A. flavum, A. fumigatus, A. ochraceus). Mint had stronger effect than caraway. No AB1 was found in media with mint and/or caraway concentrations added.
