“…The active paper showed antimicrobial activity on the counting of aerobic mesophiles, and filamentous fungi and yeast (Figures 2A and 2B). These results for the strawberry microbiological quality are in agreement with previous studies that used the application of essential oils in fruits, directly or by coating them (Garcia et al, 2017;Ventura-Aguilar et al, 2018;Vilaplana et al, 2018). Espitia et al (2012) observed similar results in packaged papaya tree fruit in the presence of cinnamon EO antimicrobial sachet, which showed lower values compared to control with a reduction of 1.9 log cycles on the sixth day and 2.2 log cycles on the ninth day, while on the twelfth day it showed a reduction of 1.6 log cycles.…”

During the postharvest stage of the strawberry, considerable losses can be caused mainly by the attack of phytopathogenic fungi. An alternative to the use of fungicides is the essential oil (EO) incorporated in the packaging in order to control these microorganisms. This study developed active paper with 2.5, 5, 7 and 10% of the cinnamaldehyde EO and evaluated its antifungal properties against Rhizopus stolonifer and Botrytis cinerea. Subsequently, strawberries were placed in "nests" made with the active paper produced with 5% OE, stored at refrigeration temperature (8 °C) and evaluated for its microbiological and physicochemical parameters at the times of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. The physicochemical analyzes of the fruit showed difference (p > 0.05) between the treatments for the firmness and fruit color. The reduction in the growth of filamentous fungi, yeasts and aerobic mesophiles was verified in the microbiological results of strawberries wrapped in the active paper. It is concluded that the use of the active paper incorporated with EO in strawberries composes an alternative in the substitution of agrochemicals, with potential application in other fruits.

It is known that some plant essential oils have pesticide activities. Among the 29 oils evaluated in this study, 14 showed nematicidal activities of 8 to 100% at the concentration of 1,000 μg/ml, compared with a control of 0.01 g/ml Tween 80®. At a lower concentration of 500 μg/ml, only Dysphania ambrosioides oil caused >90% mortality of second‐stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne incognita. The LC50 and LC95 values for D. ambrosioides oil were 307 μg/ml and 580 μg/ml, respectively. M. incognita eggs placed in D. ambrosioides oil solutions had a significant reduction in J2 hatching compared with controls. Therefore, the oil had a toxic effect on both eggs and J2 of M. incognita. This was in contrast to nematicides on the market that act efficiently only on J2. When J2 were placed in D. ambrosioides oil at its LC50 concentration and inoculated onto tomato plants, the reduction in numbers of galls and eggs was 99.5% and 100%, respectively. Dysphania ambrosioides oil applied to the potting substrate of plants at a concentration of 1,100 μg/ml significantly reduced the number of galls and eggs of M. incognita, whereas a concentration of 800 μg/ml only reduced the number of eggs compared with the controls (Tween 80® and water). The main components of the D. ambrosioides oil detected by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry were (Z)‐ascaridole (87.28%), E‐ascaridole (8.45%) and p‐cymene (3.35%), representing 99.08% of the total oil composition. Given its nematicidal activity, D. ambrosioides oil represents an exciting raw material in the search for new bioactive molecules for the pesticide industry.

“…The control of banana anthracnose is an essential post-harvest component of fruit quality (SAGOUA et al, 2011). The management strategies include mainly the use of fungicides (VILAPLANA et al, 2018); however, this type of control has caused damage to the environment and human health, and favors the emergence of resistant isolates (JINASENA et al, 2011). In addition, the use of post-harvest fungicides is increasingly limited.…”

Bagging time of ‘Prata-anã’ banana regarding anthracnose control

et al. 2019

The aim of this work was to determine the bagging time of ‘Prata Anã’ banana in order to reduce anthracnose disease. Treatments consisted of protection of banana bunches with TNT bags at emission, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after emission and of unpacked bunches. Fruits were collected, stored in refrigeration chamber (25 ± 1 °C and 80 ± 5% RH) and evaluated for anthracnose incidence and severity. The study design was completely randomized with six treatments, repeated over two years. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey test (p <0.05). The physical and chemical characteristics of stored fruits were evaluated every three days for 12 days. The study design was completely randomized with six treatments, four evaluation periods, repeated over two years. Results were submitted to analysis of variance and regression (p <0.05). The anthracnose incidence was reduced by up to 67% by bagging bunches at emission. Bunches bagged at emission and at the first month of development did not show anthracnose severity. Bagging bunches reduces anthracnose incidence and severity. The bagging time does not interfere with the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits.
