“…The thyme (Thymus vulgaris L. thymoliferum) produces several active compounds like thymol. This compound was shown to be very effective to control diseases of sweet cherry [6] and table grape [7] and to limit decay caused by fungal pathogens in cherry tomato [8], in avocado [9] [10], in banana [11] and in papaya [12].…”

Anthracnose, caused by the fungus called Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is the main postharvest disease that affects mango production on Reunion Island. Fruits for the export market are always treated with chemicals. The use of chemical treatment is not in adequation with consumer expectations, and the increasing emergence of fungicide-resistant isolates promotes the development of alternatives methods. The principal objective of this work was to use antimicrobial properties of thymol as an alternative postharvest treatment on mango. Thymol diluated in a penetrating agent solution was effective on mango anthracnose. At a concentration of 0.025%, Thymol limited necrosis development due to pathogens during fruit storage. This treatment can stimulate some of polyphenols biosynthesis involved in the fruit resistance to postharvest disease, particularly the synthesis of gallic acid and resorcinol. With this final concentration of 0.025% thymol, the treatment did not affect fruit maturation and quality, especially the peel colour and sugar content. Importantly, the treatment did not show any detectable effect on organoleptic qualities of the fruit.

“…The inhibition of mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides occurred at 4,000-and 6,000-ppm concentrations with Noni and rosemary pepper essential oils (Dias et al, 2020). Savory oil with the active chemical compound carvacrol (71.2%) completely controlled the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides obtained from the papaya fruit (Sarkosh et al, 2018). C. gloeosporioides isolated from mangoes was effectively controlled by thymolbased essential oil (Chillet et al, 2018).…”

“…C. gloeosporioides isolated from mangoes was effectively controlled by thymolbased essential oil (Chillet et al, 2018). Essential oils also cause structural and functional damage in the microbial cell by affecting the membrane permeability, causing leakage of cellular constituents, and dissipating the H + and K + ion gradients (Sarkosh et al, 2018). Obianom and Sivakumar (2018) illustrated that the incorporation of 0.1% (v/v) TO in half-strength Prochloraz R (reduced concentration) completely reduced the anthracnose rot in avocado cv.…”

A Comprehensive Review on the Impact of Edible Coatings, Essential Oils, and Their Nano Formulations on Postharvest Decay Anthracnose of Avocados, Mangoes, and Papayas

Subtropical fruit such as avocados (Persea americana), mangoes (Mangifera indica L.), and papayas (Carica papaya L.) are economically important in international trade and predominantly exported to European destinations. These fruits are highly consumed due to their health benefits. However, due to long-distance shipping and the time required to reach the retail department stores, postharvest losses, due to postharvest decay occurring during the supply chain, affect the fruit quality on arrival at the long-distance distribution points. Currently, the use of synthetic fungicide, Prochloraz®, is used at the packing line to reduce postharvest decay and retain the overall quality of mangoes and avocados. Due to the ban imposed on the use of synthetic fungicides on fresh fruit, several studies have focused on the development of alternative technologies to retain the overall quality during marketing. Among the developed alternative technologies for commercial adoption is the use of edible coatings, such as chitosan biocontrol agents and essential oil vapors. The objective of this review is to summarize and analyze the recent advances and trends in the use of these alternative postharvest treatments on anthracnose decay in avocados, mangoes, and papayas.

“…42 Likewise, the essential oil of satureja (Satureja khuzistanica) and thyme (Thymus daenensis) have been effective in controlling the mycelial growth of the fungus that causes anthracnose. 45 Biological control methods are also studied as an alternative to fight disease. Some of the organisms used successfully as biological control are Pseudomonas syringae, Bacillus subtilis, Candida oleophila, Cryptococcus albidus and Streptomyces griseoviridis.…”
