“…However sage essential oil showed no effect against all tested fungi (data not shown). Other studies [33,34] reported antifungal activity of oregano essential oil against Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species. Paster et al [35] demonstrated antifungal activity of oregano essential oil on the mycelium and spores of A. niger, A. flavus and A.ochraceus.…”

Ethanolic extracts of tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis L) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and the essential oil of oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) were tested against many fungi including A.niger, A.flavus, Penicillium spp., Rhizopus spp. and fusarium spp. Oregano essential oil showed a very strong antifungal activity against Fuazarium spp. (MIC: 0.8 mg/ml), A.niger (MIC: <1 mg/ml) and Penicillium spp. (MIC: 4.5 mg/ml) whereas other fungi showed more resistant. The results showed that Rhizopus spp. was the most sensitive fungus to the plant extracts whereas rosemary was the most effective plant. Application of essential oils or ethanolic rosemary extract with different concentrations (100, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm) and refrigeration storage (at either 5 or 25°C) for postharvest spoilage control of tomatoes for 4 weeks showed that the combination of two treatments (refrigeration with either oregano essential oil or rosemary extract) was more effective to keep quality of tomatoes.

“…The chemical composition of the tested EO was reported by Stupar et al (2014). The main components were carvarcrol (64.06%), linalool (17.56%), p-cymene (4.44%) and thymol (3.86%).…”

Some authors documented the antifungal activity of O. vulgare EO against several fungi isolated from different substrates of cultural heritage objects, including A. niger and A. ochraceus (Stupar et al 2014). These authors pointed out that O. vulgare EO exhibited antifungal activity similar to that of the tested biocide benzalkonium chloride but stronger compared than the EOs of Rosmarinus offi cinalis and Lavandula angustifolia.…”

“…EOs have seldom been tested in vitro against fungi isolated from cultural heritage objects. Examples include isolates from the documentary heritage (Borrego et al 2012a), royal tomb paintings (Sakr et al 2012), stone and wooden artifacts (Stupar et al 2014). Reports regarding the implementation of natural products in the fi eld of conservation of cultural heritage are scarce.…”

-The antifungal activities of Origanum vulgare essential oil (EO) and of a biocide based on silver and hydrogen peroxide (Sanosil S003) against seven Aspergillus species isolated from different substrata (stone, brick, silk and paper) of cultural heritage objects in Serbia were evaluated. Microdilution, agar dilution and microatmosphere methods were used to determine minimal fungistatic and minimal fungicidal concentrations (MIC and MFC), and light microscopy to determine structural abnormalities. MIC and MFC values for O. vulgare EO ranged from 0.2 to 5 mg mL −1 and for Sanosil S003 from 5 to 250 mg mL −1 . Aspergillus sp. sect. fumigati was the most susceptible isolate, where MIC and MFC values were achieved at 0.5 mg mL −1 for O. vulgare EO, while MIC and MFC values for Sanosil S003 were achieved at 5 and 10 mg mL −1 , respectively. Morpho-physiological changes were documented in all isolates, including lack of sporulation, depigmentation of conidiogenous apparatus and conidia, and presence of aberrant fungal structures. O. vulgare EO exhibited stronger anti-Aspergillus activity than Sanosil S003, as demonstrated by the higher MIC and MFC values and fewer morpho-physiological changes observed in the tested Sanosil S003 concentrations. O. vulgare EO could be an excellent alternative to commercial biocides, with high potential in the fi eld of cultural heritage conservation.

“…Also the surfaces of stone monuments can be altered by fungal activity via hyphal penetration through the porous stone matrix and by the production of organic acids and pigments 12 . The growing interest on natural products that can be used as an alternative to synthetic chemicals in order to prevent and reduce the dangerous effects of microorganisms on historical artifacts 13 15 prompted us to investigate on the chemical composition and anti-microbial properties against several microorganism, including Bacillus subtilis, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger, species infesting historical material 13 , of the essential oil from aerial parts of A. neapolitanum, growing wild in Sicily.…”
