“…Some of the compounds present in essential oils are phenolic compounds, terpenes, alcohols, and aldehydes [ 7 , 15 ]. Therefore, the antifungal activity of essential oils depends on the combination and proportions of different compounds found in their composition, as well as their synergistic interactions [ 6 , 21 , 22 ]. The synergistic effect of some minor compounds, together with the major components, can also contribute to the fungicidal activity of essential oils.…”

“…Previous studies confirm that the inhibitory effects on many fungi are attributed to low-molecular-weight components and highly lipophilic characteristics that result in their ability to easily penetrate the phospholipid membrane cells and lead to their structural disorder and permeability, allowing cytoplasmic leakage [ 7 , 12 ]. In addition to being major constituents of essential oils, many of them have reported biological activity [ 15 , 18 , 22 ]. For example, carvacrol was shown to have antifungal activity in a study with Fusarium sp.…”

The genus Fusarium causes many diseases in economically important plants. Synthetic agents are used to control postharvest diseases caused by Fusarium, but the use of these synthetic agents generates several problems, making it necessary to develop new alternative pesticides. Essential oils can be used as a new control strategy. The essential oils of Bursera morelensis and Lippia graveolens have been shown to have potent antifungal activity against Fusarium. However, for the adequate management of diseases, as well as the optimization of the use of essential oils, it is necessary to know how essential oils act on the growth and reproduction of the fungus. In this study, the target of action of the essential oils of B. morelensis and L. graveolens and of the pure compounds present in the essential oils (carvacrol, p-cymene, α-phellandrene, α-pinene, and Υ-terpinene) was determined by evaluating the effect on hyphal morphology, as well as on spore production and germination of three Fusarium species. In this work, carvacrol was found to be the compound that produced the highest inhibition of radial growth. Essential oils and pure compounds caused significant damage to hyphal morphology and affected spore production and germination of Fusarium species.

Concerning human and environmental health, safe alternatives to synthetic pesticides are urgently needed. Many of the currently used synthetic pesticides are not authorized for application in organic agriculture. In addition, the developed resistances of various pests against classical pesticides necessitate the urgent demand for efficient and safe products with novel modes of action. Botanical pesticides are assumed to be effective against various crop pests, and they are easily biodegradable and available in high quantities and at a reasonable cost. Many of them may act by diverse yet unexplored mechanisms of action. It is therefore surprising that only few plant species have been developed for commercial usage as biopesticides. This article reviews the status of botanical pesticides, especially in Europe and Mediterranean countries, deepening their active principles and mechanisms of action. Moreover, some constraints and challenges in the development of novel biopesticides are highlighted.

“…Kemampuan antifungal ini yaitu perusakan membran sitoplasma, merusak aliran proton dan elektron (transpor aktif) dalam sel, dan koagulasi kandungan sel. Selain itu, menurut Mihai dan Popa (2015), semakin tinggi kandungan eugenol dalam media pertumbuhan Aspergillus niger, semakin terhambat pula petumbuhannya. Sehingga, akibat dari rusaknya selulosa karena enzim selulase, minyak cengkeh menguap lebih cepat terbawa udara aerasi.…”

Cellulotic degradation of clove leave using aspergillus niger to improve oil yield in distillation practices. The average yield of clove oil by steam distillation was 1.68%. This study used Aspergillus niger to degrade cellulotic membrane of clove leaves. The parameters observed were effect of fermentation times (48, 96, and 192 h) Kata kunci: minyak daun cengkeh; fermentasi selulotik; Aspergillus niger; penyulingan PENDAHULUANMinyak atsiri adalah produk alam yang memiliki karakterisitik fisikokimia yang berguna sehingga memiliki nilai tambah di masyarakat. Produk ini dapat digunakan dalam berbagai bidang, yaitu kedokteran (sebagai anti bakteri), industri makanan (bahan pengawet), industri parfum (bahan pewangi), dan lain-lain (El Asabahani dkk., 2015).Salah satu produk unggulan Indonesia yang memiliki komoditas besar dalam dunia minyak atsiri adalah tanaman cengkeh (Syzgium aromaticum). Minyak atsiri cengkeh sangat diperlukan dalam berbagai industri seperti bahan baku dalam perasa maupun pewangi makanan (flavour and fragrance ingredients), industri kosmetik dan lainnya (Wijaya dkk, 2015). Tiga minyak atsiri yang bisa didapat dari tanaman cengkeh adalah minyak bunga cengkeh, minyak batang cengkeh, dan minyak daun cengkeh. (Alma dkk., 2007).Pada daun cengkeh hanya sekitar 1,68% minyak yang dapat diambil dengan metode distilasi uap (Wijaya dkk., 2015). Beberapa peneliti terdahulu menyimpulkan bahwa peningkatan rendemen minyak atsiri daun cengkeh dapat dilakukan dengan fermentasi selulotik sebelum dilakukan distilasi.
