AITC: allyl isothiocyanate; H-OMF: antifungal device of hydroxyethyl-cellulose with oriental mustard flour; YMF-E: yellow mustard flour extract; LOD: limit of detection was 0.30 µg/kg; A, B, and C: capital letters represent statistical differences among treatments at the same time point (p ≤ 0.05). The samples were previously analysed for the presence of AFB₁ (n = 9).
