The aim of the work was to examine the effects of sub-lethal doses of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (1+1 mmol/l and 5+5 mmol/l), water activities (0.98, 0.95, 0.93, 0.89 aW) and temperatures (28, 20 °C) on growth, sclerotial characteristics, aflatoxin accumulation and aflD (=nor-1) transcript level by Aspergillus parasiticus RCP08300 on peanut based medium. Growth rate and aflatoxin production were inhibited by BHA-BHT mixture (1+1 mmol/l), regardless of environmental factor assayed. Although sclerotia number and aflD expression were stimulated by this treatment, sclerotia dry weight and volume were reduced by 62.3 and 31.2%, respectively. In contrast, when the fungus grew in presence of the higher dose of BHA-BHT mixture none or very low aflatoxin accumulation and aflD expression occurred. Similarly, A. parasiticus growth has been highly influenced by BHA-BHT (5+5 mmol/l) and interacting stress factors. Data show that sub-lethal antioxidant doses significantly reduced growth and aflatoxin accumulation by A. parasiticus but these treatments were not able to repress the expression of the early expression gene (aflD) involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis. Thus, this represents a high potential risk of stored peanuts contamination with aflatoxins.

The aim of the work was to examine the effects of sub-lethal doses of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (1+1 mmol/l and 5+5 mmol/l), water activities (0.98, 0.95, 0.93, 0.89 aW) and temperatures (28, 20 °C) on growth, sclerotial characteristics, aflatoxin accumulation and aflD (=nor-1) transcript level by Aspergillus parasiticus RCP08300 on peanut based medium. Growth rate and aflatoxin production were inhibited by BHA-BHT mixture (1+1 mmol/l), regardless of environmental factor assayed. Although sclerotia number and aflD expression were stimulated by this treatment, sclerotia dry weight and volume were reduced by 62.3 and 31.2%, respectively. In contrast, when the fungus grew in presence of the higher dose of BHA-BHT mixture none or very low aflatoxin accumulation and aflD expression occurred. Similarly, A. parasiticus growth has been highly influenced by BHA-BHT (5+5 mmol/l) and interacting stress factors. Data show that sub-lethal antioxidant doses significantly reduced growth and aflatoxin accumulation by A. parasiticus but these treatments were not able to repress the expression of the early expression gene (aflD) involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis. Thus, this represents a high potential risk of stored peanuts contamination with aflatoxins.
