“…A synergistic interaction between extract and antimicrobial agents was recorded by Adwan et al [57]. A survey against our studied Fusarium attributed the antifungal activity to the presence of some compounds, such as ethyl iso-allocholate; 7,8-epoxylanostan-11-ol; and 3-acetoxy [58]. …”

Crude extracts from a medicinal Tunisian plant, Pergularia tomentosa L., were the investigated natural material. Butanolic extract of roots analyzed with IR spectra revealed the presence of hydroxyl, alcoholic, and carboxylic groups and sugars units. Analysis of some secondary metabolites, total phenolic, flavonoids, flavonols, and procyanidins, was performed using different solvents following the increased gradient of polarity. Fruits and leaves contained the highest amounts of all these compounds. Antioxidant properties were evaluated by the determination of free radical scavenging activity and the reducing power of methanolic extracts. Fruits and leaf extracts were the most powerful antioxidants for the two-assay in vitro system. Stems and fruits extracts exhibit an antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici which could become an alternative to synthetic fungicide to control Solanum species fungal diseases.

“…These mechanisms are the ones allowing the microorganisms inhibition [15,55]. For instance, a high number of polyphenols extracted from Rhus muelleri leaves inhibit the growth of Fusarium oxysporum fungus, which causes destructive diseases in tomatoes, bananas, among other plant species [18]. Likewise, from the leaves and stem of Aquilegia vulgaris, the flavonoid 4'methoxy-5,7-dihydroxyflavone 6-C-glucoside (isocytisoside) was isolated ( Figure 5), and presented antifungal activity against mold A. niger [55].…”

“…The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests, as an alternative, the natural type control, since it does not present side effects, does not harm the environment, has an extensive public acceptance, and is relatively economic [10,13,15,21,22]. Therefore, the interest in researching organic and useful products likely used as a natural control, and generating thus a sustainable and profitable industry, has become increasingly important [8,18,23,24,25]. Some of the natural antifungals currently used are microorganisms, extracts, essential oils, or active compounds from plants [4,19,22,26].…”

Fungi are the primary infectious agents in plants causing significant economic losses in agroindustry. Traditionally, these pathogens have been treated with different synthetic fungicides such as hydroxianilides, anilinopyrimidines, and azoles, to name a few. However, the indiscriminate use of these chemicals has increased fungi resistance in plants. Natural products have been researched as a control, and an alternative to these synthetic fungicides since they are not harmful to health and contribute to the environment caring. This review describes plants extracts, essential oils, and active compounds or secondary metabolites as antifungal agents both, in vitro and in vivo. Active compounds have been recently described as the best candidates for the control of phytopathogenic fungi. When metabolized by plants, these compounds concentrations rely on the environmental conditions and pathogens incidence. However, one issue regarding the direct application of these preformed compounds in plants touch upon their low persistence in the environment, and their even lower bioavailability than synthetic fungicides. Hence the challenge is to develop useful formulations based on natural products to increase the compounds solubility facilitating thus their application in the field while maintaining their properties.

“…Hence, it is imperative to develop products based on natural compounds, which are effective in controlling phytopathogenic microorganisms, without generating residuality in the produce. In this context, some plants of Rhus genus such as R. muelleri and R. coriaria L., are characterized for their high phenolic, triterpenes, and other compounds' contents, which contribute to their reported antimicrobial activity [5,6]. In Mexico, the R. microphylla (Rm) shrub fruit (commonly known as "agrito") is used by the Kickappos indigenous people in folk medicine [7], although its chemical composition and properties have not yet been studied.…”

Edible Films Based on Black Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) Seed Mucilage Containing Rhus microphylla Fruit Phenolic Extract

Functional films based on black chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed mucilage (BCm) containing Rhus microphylla (Rm) fruit phenolic extract were built and characterized. A hydro-alcohol extract (HAE) of Rm was incorporated as the bioactive agent due to its noteworthy phenolic profile, and good antioxidant and antifungal activities. The effects of the BCm concentration (0.2% and 0.4%, w/v), HAE incorporation, and their interaction with glycerol (1.0%, w/v) and calcium chloride (0.05%, w/v) on the films’ physicochemical properties were evaluated. The filmogenic solutions successfully fitted to the Herschel–Bulkley model (R2 < 0.999), exhibiting a pseudoplastic and shear thinning character, typical of polymer solutions. Interestingly, their rheological properties were not (p > 0.05) changed by the HAE addition, but their surface tension was enhanced (p < 0.05), which could favor their coating ability. The polyanionic nature of the systems (zeta potential-Zp values from −26.9 to −33.3 mV) allowed them to interact with Ca2+ cations, thus forming stable and resistant films. All the films showed low water solubility (15.0% to 22.3%) and high permeability (3.7 to 4.0 × 10−10 g m−1 s−1 Pa−1), as well as high biodegradability (moisture content from 66.0% to 80.9%); although the moisture content was reduced (p < 0.05) with HAE addition. The combination of higher BCm ratio and HAE addition (BCm0.4+Rm) led to a more resistant, thick, opaque, and dark film compared with the others obtained. This study reveals the BCm-based films’ potential, highlighting those with HAE, representing a novel alternative to improve the quality of food products.
