“…For example, the essential oils used on Frankliniella occidentalis Perg were obtained from Mentha pulegium and Thymus mastichina, with 50% (and 90%) lethal concentration values of 3.1 (3.8) and 3.6 (4.6) mg L −1 air, respectively; essential oils of M. spicata, M. piperita, T. vulgaris chemotype (CT) carvacrol and T. vulgaris chemotype (CT) thymol inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizopus stolonifer with inhibition rates of 92.4%, 98.0%, 98.5%, and 9.8%, respectively. [23][24][25][26] Eugenol, 2-methoxy-4-(2-propylene)phenol, is a plant essential oil and the main component of cloves (Syzygium aromaticum). Eugenol is inexpensive and readily available.…”

BACKGROUND: Rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is a devastating disease of rice in China. However, indiscriminate use of chemical fungicides applied to control the disease raise major environmental and food safety issues. Ecofriendly biocontrol alternatives are urgently needed. Eugenol, one of the main ingredients in Syzygium aromaticum, has attracted much attention owing to its antifungal properties. However, its mode of action is still not clear. Herein, the antifungal activity and mode of action of eugenol against R. solani were investigated.RESULTS: Results confirmed that the mycelia of R. solani treated with eugenol shrank and became dehydrated, the cytoplasmic wall separated, and the vacuoles and mitochondria decreased or dissolved. Moreover, we found that eugenol downregulated expression of C-4 methyl sterol oxidase, inhibited synthesis of ergosterol, increased membrane permeability and impaired the transportation of amino acids and glucose across the cell membrane. In addition, eugenol decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and initiated an oxidative stress reaction by increasing reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, which together with membrane damage contribute to the antifungal activity of eugenol. Meanwhile, eugenol might inhibit R. solani by affecting oxidative phosphorylation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). CONCLUSION: In view of its multitarget properties against R. solani, eugenol provides an alternative approach to chemical control strategies against rice sheath blight.

“…The fungal isolates were cultured on PDA in 90 mm Petri dishes and grown for 7 days (for P. expansum ) and 10 days (for B. cinerea ) at 25 ± 2 °C under light (12 h) and dark (12 h) incubation conditions. Isolate preparation was performed according to the method previously reported by Tahmasebi et al [ 12 ]. For this purpose, the conidial suspension (0.1% v / v Tween 80 in 10 mL sterile-distilled water: 1000 µL/L) was first poured on culture plates.…”

“…Within this frame, many studies have successfully demonstrated that secondary metabolites or essential oils (EOs) of plants are effective for inhibiting fungal growth and are considered suitable natural alternatives to their chemical counterparts [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Specifically, in vitro and in vivo tests confirmed the effect of many essential oils on the inhibition or elimination of P. expansum and B. cinerea from apples and nectarines, respectively [ 11 , 12 ]. Among others, Cinnamomum zeylanicum [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], Zataria multiflora [ 17 , 18 ], and Satureja khuzestanica [ 19 , 20 ] were proven to be promising essential oils against fungal spoilage.…”

This work assessed the antimicrobial potential of natural essential oils (EOs) from cinnamon (CEO), zataria (ZEO), and satureja (SEO), applied natively or as coatings against Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea during both in vitro and in vivo (on apple fruits) experiments. The induced inhibitory effect towards fungal growth, as a function of both EO type and concentration (75–1200 μL/L), was preliminarily investigated to select the most suitable EO for producing bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs)/fish gelatin (GelA)-based emulsions. CEO and ZEO exhibited the best performances against P. expansum and B. cinerea, respectively. None of the pristine EOs completely inhibited the fungal growth and “disease severity”, properly quantified via size measurements of lesions formed on fruit surfaces. As compared to pristine CEO, coating emulsions with variable CEO concentration (75–2400 µL/L) curbed lesion spreading on apples, owing to the controlled CEO release during a 21-day temporal window. The strongest effect was displayed by BCNCs/GelA-CEO emulsions at the highest CEO concentration, upon which lesions on fruit skins were barely detectable. This work demonstrated the capability of EOs embedded in BCNCs/GelA-based nanocapsules to efficiently slow down microbial spoilage on postharvest fruits, thus offering viable opportunities for developing innovative antimicrobial packaging systems.

POTENCY OF Areca catechu FLESH EXTRACT IN INHIBITING SOFT ROT FUNGI OF MELONS AND BANANAS

et al. 2022

Areca fruit (Areca catechu) has traditionally been used as a tooth strengthening and whitener through the habit of “chewing,” in Indonesian culture. In Madura, the use of young areca nuts is an herbal medicine for male virility. Wider utilization has not been performed, even though betel nuts contain bioactive compounds, potentially as antimicrobials. The aim of this research was to obtain evidence for the use of watery extract of betel nuts as a natural ingredient to extend fruits’ shelf life from fungal attacks. The fungus isolated from melon fruit was Meyerozyma sp., and the isolate from banana fruit was Aspergillus sp. Extraction of betel nuts using water as a solvent produces a dark brown concentrated solution. The in vitro antifungal test result showed that the inhibitory activity of areca flesh water extract against fungal isolates was still lower than that of 0.2% ketoconazole. The in vivo test results on “Arumanis” mangoes and “Ambon” bananas with Aspergillus sp. from bananas showed that hyphae had not appeared on days 4 and 5 of storage at room temperature 25 oC, respectively. Areca fruit extract can extend the shelf life of the fruit at room temperature.
