Abstract

Agave is a broad wild plant growing in arid soil, with medicinal and cosmetic applications.This study aimed to evaluate antifungal activities of normal and treated Agave extracts.Fourier transmitted infrared apparatus (FTIR) analyzed changes in the chemical composition of several extracts.The gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS) was utilized to explore each extract component.Aflatoxin reductio...
