“Delaying Rot Emergence in Persian Lime (Citrus×latifolia) Through Antifungal Hybrid Films Containing Litsea glaucescens Essential Oil”

“…Similarly, a recent study focused on the chemical and biological activity of L. glaucescens essential oil, revealed comparable levels of eucalyptol than those reported in the present study [19] . These investigations suggested the potential use of this volatile fraction as a source of bioactive antioxidants to treat depression and some types of cancer [18–19] . The results of the antifungal tests demonstrated that LgEO produced a MIC of 1.5 mg mL −1 for both fungal species.…”

“…The essential oil showed a similar chemical composition to that found in Litsea glaucescens grown in Veracruz México but, eucalyptol and o‐cymene were the most abundant compounds in this fraction [18] .
