Objectives radcial scanvenging activity and the effects of the monoterpenes menthol, thymol, and the synthetic antioxidant BHT were evaluated on growth and fumonisin B1 production by F. verticilioides in liquid cultures. Conclusions. The data obtained in these studies suggests that BHT and menthol could cause inhibition of FB1 production, and their effects depend of the day of insertion. On the other hand, BHT and thymol have radical scavenging activity
