Effects of geraniol and citral on physiological qualities of rice infected by A. flavus and A. ochraceus. The grains were stored for various time intervals (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 d) with geraniol (0.5 μL/mL), citral (0.5 μL/mL), and AlP (10 mg/L) treatment and sterile water (control), respectively. (A) Changes in pH values with A. flavus; (B) Changes in fatty acid content with A. flavus; (C) Changes in MDA content with A. flavus; (D) Changes in colony number of A. flavus; (E) Changes in pH values with A. ochraceus; (F) Changes in fatty acid content with A. ochraceus; (G) Changes in MDA content with A. ochraceus; and (H) Changes in colony number of A. ochraceus. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Different letters at each time point denote significant difference (p < 0.05), and an asterisk (p < 0.05) and two asterisks (p < 0.01) are used when compared with control according to Duncan’s test.
