In the present study, volatile compounds and food additives were tried for their effectiveness in the control of the development of biomass and citrinin production by three strains of Aspergillus terreus. Fumes of phenols and formic acid altogether repressed citrinin production in three strains of Aspergillus terreus. Among food additives, sodium acetic acid and sodium metabisulphite inhibited citrinin production at 150 µg/ml concentration. The amount of citrinin was measure using high performance liquid chromatography. The results of the above work and presented in this communication.
