Essential oils (EOs) of coriander were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Linalool (73.05 %), a-pinene (9.18 %), gamma-terpinene (7.65 %), geranyl acetate (2.71 %), were the main components of coriander essential oil. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of coriander was 2700 ppm in broth macrodilution. 3 9 10 5 CFU/g Byssochlamys fulva was inoculated in tomato sauce and different concentrations of EOs were added to each sample. Sodium benzoate at MIC concentration (250 ppm) was added to tomato sauce as a negative control. Samples were kept at 30 ± 0.5°C for 2 months. The results showed that sodium benzoate completely stopped the fungi growth but 800 ppm coriander essential oils (CEO) and mixture of cinnamon (250 ppm) and coriander (800 ppm) essential oils inhibited up to 32 and 90 %, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
