“…Therefore, essential oils affect the normal function of cells by changing the structure and permeability of the cell membrane, reduced membrane potential, change the composition of membrane fatty acids. Also, essential oils can damage significantly inhibiting the mitochondrial ATP enzyme activity, DNA damage, lipid, protein and nucleic acid metabolism ( Mani-López et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2022 ).…”

In this study, the efficacy of the essential oil of Mentha longifolia, Achillea arabica and Artemisia absinthium plants were evaluated against important soil-borne fungal pathogens as Verticillium dahliae, Rhizoctonia solani, and Fusarium oxysporum. Essential oils were obtained from plants by hydrodistillation method and the chemical components of essential oils were determined by analyzing by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main components found as piperitone oxide (13.61%), piperitenone oxide (15.55%), pulegone (12.47%), 1-menthone (5.75%), and camphor (5.75%) in M. longifolia, á-selinene 13.38%, camphor 13.34%, L-4-terpineneol 8.40%, (–)-á-Elemene 7.01%, 1,8-cineole 4.71%, and (–)-spathulenol 3.84% in A. arabica, and á-thujone (34.64%), 1,8-cineole (19.54%), pulegone (7.86%), camphene (5.31%), sabinene (4.86%), and germacrene-d (3.67%) in A. absinthium. The antifungal activities of the oils were investigated 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.00, and 2.00 μl/ml concentrations with the contact effect method. M. longifolia oil (1.00 and 2.00 μl/ml) has displayed remarkable antifungal effect and provided 100% inhibition on mycelial growth of V. dahliae, R. solani and F. oxysporum. The results obtained from this study may contribute to the development of new alternative and safe methods against soil-borne fungal pathogens.

“…The industry of baked goods is focusing on increasing the nutrition value, shelf life, and safety, but most important to avoidance the mold growth, by usually apply modified storage atmosphere, radiation, coating, and aseptic packaging [133,191,193]. There are also preservative acids like benzoic, propionic, and sorbic acids being used, even though some of them are now restricted considering the warning regarding their effects on human health [62].…”

Plants have proven to be important sources for discovering new compounds that are useful in the treatment of various diseases due to their phytoconstituents. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.), an aromatic plant widely cultivated around the world, has been traditionally used for food preservation and medicinal purposes. In particular, clove essential oil (CEO) has attracted attention for containing various bioactive compounds, such as phenolics (eugenol and eugenol acetate), terpenes (β-caryophyllene and α-humulene), and hydrocarbons. These constituents have found applications in cosmetics, food, and medicine industries due to their bioactivity. Pharmacologically, CEO has been tested against a variety of parasites and pathogenic microorganisms, demonstrating antibacterial and antifungal properties. Additionally, many studies have also demonstrated the analgesic, antioxidant, anticancer, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory effects of this essential oil. However, CEO could degrade for different reasons, impacting its quality and bioactivity. To address this challenge, encapsulation is viewed as a promising strategy that could prolong the shelf life of CEO, improving its physicochemical stability and application in various areas. This review examines the phytochemical composition and biological activities of CEO and its constituents, as well as extraction methods to obtain it. Moreover, encapsulation strategies for CEO and numerous applications in different food fields are also highlighted.

Chitinases are glycosyl hydrolase enzymes that break down chitin, an integral component of fungal cell walls. Bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Serratia marcescens produce chitinases with antifungal properties. In this study, we aimed to generate hybrid chitinase enzymes with enhanced antifungal activity by combining functional domains from native chitinases produced by B. subtilis and S. marcescens. Chitinase genes were cloned from both bacteria and fused together using overlap extension PCR. The hybrid constructs were expressed in E. coli and the recombinant enzymes purified. Gel electrophoresis and computational analysis confirmed the molecular weights and isoelectric points of the hybrid chitinases were intermediate between the parental enzymes. Antifungal assays demonstrated that the hybrid chitinases inhibited growth of the fungus Fusarium oxysporumsignificantly more than the native enzymes. Our results indicate domain shuffling of bacterial chitinases is a promising approach to engineer novel antifungal proteins. This study provides insight into structure-function relationships of chitinases and strategies for generating biotherapeutics with enhanced bioactive properties.
