“…The effectivity of clove EO against Aspergillus oryzae , Aspergillus ochraceus [ 86 ], Fusarium oxysporum [ 100 ], Penicillium citrinum , and Rhizopus nigricans [ 117 ] was also proved. In addition to in vivo applications, in vitro studies also confirmed the antifungal effects of clove EO to prevent gray mold in strawberries [ 123 ] and pomegranate fruits [ 70 ]. In addition to the antifungal activities of clove EO, its antimycotoxigenic abilities were also investigated by several researchers.…”

“…Many studies about EOs from Thymus species indicated that these activities were superior to its thymol and carvacrol contents. The corresponding EO pronounced antifungal activity against Aspergillus carbonarius [ 67 ], Aspergillus niger [ 68 , 69 , 70 ], Aspergillus flavus [ 67 , 69 ], and Aspergillus parasiticus [ 71 ]. In addition to Aspergillus spp., the other most studied molds were Penicillium spp.…”

“…The antiaflatoxigenic activity of Eucalyptus globulus was proven by [ 103 ]. In a study conducted with thymus, clove, and eucalyptus EOs, all EOs showed antifungal activity, but considering their activity levels, it was suggested to use especially thymus and clove EOs as an alternative to synthetic fungicides [ 70 ]. With respect to the studies in the literature, one of the most widely studied essential oils is clove EO, and its antifungal activity has been attributed to its main component eugenol [ 121 ].…”

“…With respect to the studies in the literature, one of the most widely studied essential oils is clove EO, and its antifungal activity has been attributed to its main component eugenol [ 121 ]. Although the inhibition of Aspergillus niger was completely achieved at 200 µL/L [ 70 ], at 100 µL/L, the conidial germination of Aspergillus flavus was inhibited by 87% [ 122 ]. The effectivity of clove EO against Aspergillus oryzae , Aspergillus ochraceus [ 86 ], Fusarium oxysporum [ 100 ], Penicillium citrinum , and Rhizopus nigricans [ 117 ] was also proved.…”

Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antimycotoxigenic, and Antioxidant Activities of Essential Oils: An Updated Review

et al. 2020

The interest in using natural antimicrobials instead of chemical preservatives in food products has been increasing in recent years. In regard to this, essential oils—natural and liquid secondary plant metabolites—are gaining importance for their use in the protection of foods, since they are accepted as safe and healthy. Although research studies indicate that the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of essential oils (EOs) are more common compared to other biological activities, specific concerns have led scientists to investigate the areas that are still in need of research. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review paper in which antifungal and especially antimycotoxigenic effects are compiled. Further, the low stability of essential oils under environmental conditions such as temperature and light has forced scientists to develop and use recent approaches such as encapsulation, coating, use in edible films, etc. This review provides an overview of the current literature on essential oils mainly on antifungal and antimycotoxigenic but also their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Additionally, the recent applications of EOs including encapsulation, edible coatings, and active packaging are outlined.

“…Essential oils (EO) obtained from plants or spices are excellent sources of biologically active compounds, like terpenoids and phenolic acids; among them, carvacrol and thymol are present in oregano EO. These compounds are recognized as antimicrobials [ 11 ]. This characteristic has already been studied and reported against several bacterial and fungal strains [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

The aim of this work was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effectiveness of thymol and carvacrol added to edible starch films and coatings against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. In vitro evaluation consisted of determining minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of carvacrol and thymol was determined at different pH values against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. With MIC values, binary mixtures were developed. From these results, two coatings formulations were in vivo evaluated on mango and papaya. Physicochemical analysis, color change, fruit lesions and C. gloeosporioides growth were determined during storage. In vitro assay indicated that the MIC value of carvacrol and thymol against C. gloeosporioides was 1500 mg/L at pH 5. An additive effect was determined with 750/750 and 1125/375 mg/L mixtures of carvacrol and thymol, respectively. Coated fruits with selected mixtures of carvacrol and thymol presented a delay in firmness, maturity index and color change. Moreover, a fungistatic effect was observed due to a reduction of lesions in coated fruits. These results were corroborated by the increase in the lag phase value and the reduction of the growth rate. Carvacrol and thymol incorporated into edible films and coatings are able to reduce the incidence of anthracnose symptoms on mango and papaya.
