“…El aceite esencial y los extractos de clavo de olor poseen compuestos con actividad antimicrobiana contra diversos microorganismos (Aguilar & López., 2013;Souza et al, 2022). Sobre la C. Albicans presenta una inhibición completa de su crecimiento a una concentración del 87% (Omidbeygi et al, 2007;Jugreet et al, 2020).…”

La Cándida Albicans es un hongo comensal que coloniza diversas superficies del cuerpo, incluida la mucosa oral. Posee la capacidad de transitar a patógeno ante cualquier cambio en su entorno. Forma biopelículas resistiendo a diversos desinfectantes químicos. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar la eficacia in vitro de desinfectantes convencionales y desinfectantes alternativos sobre el desarrollo de la Cándida Albicans. Los desinfectantes alternativos de aceite de canela y de clavo de olor, presentan una eficacia significativamente mayor que el desinfectante convencional Hipoclorito de sodio (p<0,001), lo que es posible sugerir sus uso como desinfectantes en superficies contaminadas con Cándida Albicans.

“…Among identified terpenes in EOs, the acyclic monoterpenoid citral (consisting of two geometrical isomers: the E-isomer geranial and the Z-isomer neral [ 21 ]) is the most widely used flavouring compound in foods, beverages, and cosmetics with a high consumer acceptance [ 22 ]. It is classified by the European Commission among the compounds approved as flavor additives in food, beverages [ 23 ], and feed products [ 24 ].…”

“…It is classified by the European Commission among the compounds approved as flavor additives in food, beverages [ 23 ], and feed products [ 24 ]. Due to its antimicrobial properties, citral is also studied for applications in novel and natural preservative strategies [ 21 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. However, relatively few investigations of citral-based strategies have been performed to preserve table grapes’ quality and safety during post-harvest storage; essential oils of Eucaliptus staigeriana , composed by 30.9% citral, were able to reduce the incidence and severity of grey rot caused by Botrytis cinerea and the severity of ripe rot caused by Colletotrichum acutatum on table grapes [ 28 ].…”

Rhizopus oryzae is responsible for rapidly producing a deliquescent appearance in grape berries, generally favoured by cold chain interruptions. To counteract fruit spoilage and to meet consumer acceptance, innovative strategies based on the application of natural compounds are ongoing. Due to their biological activities, including antimicrobial ones, natural flavour compounds extend the shelf life and improve the nutritional value as well as the organoleptic properties of foods. Thus, in this work, the application of the antimicrobial citral, a flavor component of monoterpenes identified in plant and fruit essential oils, was developed and validated against one spoiler of R. oryzae. Citral, as pure compound, was first investigated in vitro against R. oryzae ITEM 18876; then, concentrations equal to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and 4-fold MIC (4MIC) value were applied on the table grape cv Italia infected with this strain and stored. The MIC value was equal to 0.0125 μL/cm3; both citral concentrations (0.0125 and 0.05 µL/cm3) were effective in counteracting the microbial decay of infected table grapes over the storage period. The HS-SPME/GC-MS method showed citral persistence in the head space of plastic trays with the infected samples; as expected, a higher content of citral isomers was found in the sample treated with 4MIC value. In conclusion, citral revealed its efficacy to counteract the onset of soft rot by R. oryzae ITEM 18876 under storage conditions. Thus, it could be successfully exploited to develop an active packaging or natural preservatives to extend table grape shelf life without affecting its quality and sensory characteristics, whilst also satisfying the consumer demand for natural preservative agents.
