Essential oils from Eucalyptus staigeriana F. Muell. ex Bailey and Eucalyptus urograndis W. Hill ex Maiden associated to carboxymethylcellulose coating for the control of Botrytis cinerea Pers. Fr. and Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Vuill. in strawberries

Sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea Isolates Complex to Plant Extracts

“…Meanwhile, only the bell pepper isolate (BC8) separated from the isolate complex after treatment with different clove extract concentrations—and strawberry (BC1) and apple (BC6) isolates—after treatment with different cinnamon extract concentrations. Our isolate complex had a higher sensitivity to cinnamon and clove extract compared to the one described in da Silva et al’s [ 11 ] study; there, B. cinerea isolated from strawberries was inhibited by essential oils of Eucalyptus staigeriana and. E. urograndis using concentrations of 2000 and 4000 µL/L, respectively.…”

“…In previously reported studies, the sensitivity of B. cinerea from various plant hosts was investigated and antifungal concentrations of extracts and essential oils were determined [ 1 , 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 ]. Mycelial growth of B. cinerea from tomato was inhibited by origanum essential oil at 12.8 µg/mL and lavender and rosemary essential oils at 25.6 µg/mL [ 1 ].…”

“…A changed surface and other features of B. cinerea hyphae were detected before [ 6 , 19 ]. In other investigations, structural alterations of B. cinerea hyphae were detected after exposure with Eucalyptus essential oils, causing the development of wrinkles, torsion, peeling and dehydration, and authors of the study suggested that hyphae changes are caused regarding essential oils action on the cell wall of the pathogen [ 11 ]. Our primary visual assessment of B. cinerea hyphae after treatment with extracts agree with other studies, as several changes were observed under microscope.…”

“…With all the knowledge about pesticide residues in food, consumers tend to choose higher quality and more environmentally and human-safe products [ 5 ]. Therefore, alternative sources of antifungal substances are under investigation lately [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. One alternative source is active compounds obtained from plants [ 12 ], such as botanical pesticides.…”

Encapsulation of Flavours and Fragrances into Polymeric Capsules and Cyclodextrins Inclusion Complexes: An Update

“…Similarly, microcapsules of Zingiber officinale EO were prepared using chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose as shell materials to investigate the effects on the postharvest quality and prolonged the shelf-life of jujube fruits in terms of morphologic characteristics and some parameters as soluble solid contents, titratable acidity, the Red index and decay index and sensory quality [ 152 ]. The EO extracted from the leaves of Eucalyptus and incorporated into carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was employed to control fungal growth causing soft rot on strawberries, configured as a valid alternative to synthetic fungicides for this preharvest treatment [ 153 ].…”
