“…In these studies, the antifungal activities of rosemary EO against Fusarium verticillioides [ 57 ], Fusarium oxysporum [ 58 , 59 ], and Fusarium proliferatum [ 58 ] have been reported. Additionally, antifungal activities against Mucor pusillus and Aspergillus oryzae [ 59 ], Botrytis cinerea [ 60 ], and Alternaria alternata [ 61 ] were also noteworthy. However, their sensitivities to corresponding EOs were at different levels.…”

The interest in using natural antimicrobials instead of chemical preservatives in food products has been increasing in recent years. In regard to this, essential oils—natural and liquid secondary plant metabolites—are gaining importance for their use in the protection of foods, since they are accepted as safe and healthy. Although research studies indicate that the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of essential oils (EOs) are more common compared to other biological activities, specific concerns have led scientists to investigate the areas that are still in need of research. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review paper in which antifungal and especially antimycotoxigenic effects are compiled. Further, the low stability of essential oils under environmental conditions such as temperature and light has forced scientists to develop and use recent approaches such as encapsulation, coating, use in edible films, etc. This review provides an overview of the current literature on essential oils mainly on antifungal and antimycotoxigenic but also their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Additionally, the recent applications of EOs including encapsulation, edible coatings, and active packaging are outlined.

“…Citrus oils have the GRAS status for food and drug applications possessing the inhibitory effects both in direct oil and vapour form against a range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [22] . The antifungal activities of various essential oils [7,23] including Citrus fruit peels [13] have also been reported. Therefore, the essential oils of Citrus plants are promising natural antimicrobial that fulfill the requirements and expectations of both the industry and the consumers.…”

Natural products include those chemical compounds and substances obtained from plants, animals and minerals. They are the backbone on which all the traditional system of healing around the globe depended on. The use of plants and their parts along with oils derived from them as food, medicine and in religious practices was observed in both the eastern and western civilizations [1]. In recent years, consumers have also developed more and more interest in natural products due to their perceived safety over synthetic chemical compounds. As a result, products such as essential oils have garnered great popularity in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries [2]. Essential oils are basically low molecular weight, volatile and complex compounds characterized by strong odour [3]. These can be synthesized by different parts of the plant organs and play diverse roles in the plant's defense system as well as reproduction. The International Organization for Standardization has reserved the term 'essential oil' for those products obtained from vegetable raw materials through mechanical or physical process only (pressing or distillation) [2]. As such, several essentials oils have also been classified into generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration [1]. Essential oils are interesting compounds in that these possess various biological properties, exerting activities on human, animals and other plants. Studies in recent times have shown antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal and antioxidant properties of essential oils obtained from various plants making them a promising, eco-friendly control system for microorganisms [4-9] .

“…b). Similar results have been observed in A. alternata treated with essential oils (Castro et al ., ) and in P. italicum treated with poplar buds extracts (Yang et al ., ). In this study, the morphology changes observed could be due to the interaction of some bioactive compounds contained in the lemon by‐product extracts, such as phenolic acids or ascorbic acid, with membrane enzymes, leading to the loss of integrity of the hyphae cell walls (da Cruz Cabral et al ., ).…”

Summary The effect of two lemon by‐product aqueous extracts at different concentrations (14, 7, 3.5 and 1 mg mL−1) was tested against the in vitro growth of Alternaria alternata. Prior to extraction, one batch of by‐product was dehydrated by freeze‐drying (untreated by‐product), while the other batch was treated by microwave irradiation in conjunction with freeze‐drying (microwave‐treated by‐product). High‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed for the identification of individual phenolic compounds with potent antifungal activities. Both lemon by‐product aqueous extracts inhibited the mycelial growth and suppressed the spore germination of the fungus in a concentration‐dependent manner. In general, the extracts obtained from the microwave‐treated lemon by‐product displayed enhanced antifungal activity than those obtained from the untreated one. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that both lemon by‐product extracts affected the hyphal morphology of the fungus. The antifungal activity of the extracts was attributed to their phenolic acid and ascorbic acid contents.
