“…The EC 90 of the thyme essential oil was < 0.02% for all of these tested fungi, with a mainly fungicidal nature of the toxicity. The EC 90 for thyme essential oil against the fi ve fungi in this study fi t well within ranges of values reported in other studies, where the fungitoxicity of thyme essential oil has been given as between 0.025% (Soliman et al 2002) and 0.07% (Kumar et al 2008), although Zabka et al (2009) reported a higher MIC for A. fl avus (0.23%) and a Fusarium sp.

“…From seed germination to harvest, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases can reduce the vigour and yield of wheat plants (Soliman and Badeaa 2002). Several wheat-associated fungi are carried from the fi eld with the harvested grain, and can spread further during post-harvest storage, and can reduce their later germination (Özer 2005, Perelló and Larrán 2013, Rajput et al 2005.…”

-Plant essential oils are potential food preservatives due to their inhibitory effects on bacterial and fungal growth. Antifungal activities of common thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oil were tested against endophytic fungi grown from wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain, molecularly identifi ed as Alternaria alternata, Alternaria infectoria, Aspergillus fl avus, Epicoccum nigrum and Fusarium poae. Their susceptibility to thyme essential oil was tested in vitro, and ranged from fungicidal to fungistatic. Treatment combinations of prior grain surface sterilization with hypochlorite and direct/indirect treatment with the essential oil were used, which showed strong effects on infection incidence and germination. Direct soaking of the wheat grain in the essential oil was particularly effective, but inhibited both fungal growth and seed germination. In contrast, indirect treatment of the grain with the essential oil (i.e., fumigation) inhibited fungal growth without negative effects on seed germination. In combination with grain surface sterilization with hypochlorite, indirect treatment with thyme essential oil reduced these fungal infections even more. Since thyme essential oil is safe for plants and consumers, in the form of fumigation it could be used as a protectant of storage containers for wheat grain intended for sowing and for food production.

“…It is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases including gastroenteric and bronchopulmonary disorders, anthelmintic, carminative, sedative, diaphoretic (Rustaiyan et al, 2000). It has been reported that its essential oil possesses numerous biological activities including antiworm, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antimicrobial (Marino et al, 1999) and antioxidant (Miura et al, 2002;Soliman and Badeaa, 2002;PinaVaz et al, 2004). T. vulgaris is well-known species of the genus Thymus and extensively studied for chemical and biological activity (Simandi et al, 2001;Soković et al, 2008Soković et al, , 2009 T. algeriensis is the most widespread North African species.…”

Aromatic plant species of genus Thymus are important medicinal plants, highly recommended due to a range of therapeutic properties of their essential oil (thyme oil): antirheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, cardiac, carminative, diuretic and expectorant. Oil is also beneficial in boosting the immune system, and helps to fight colds, flu, infectious diseases and chills. It is proved to be a urinary antiseptic, being very helpful for cystitis and urethritis. Scientific validation of traditional uses, and phytochemical and bioactivity evaluation of essential oils from Thymus serpyllum, Thymus algeriensis and Thymus vulgaris was performed. GC/MS analysis revealed thymol as major component of T. algeriensis, T. vulgaris and T.serpyllum, with a contribution of 56.02%, 48.92% and 38.50%, respectively. The three essential oils (EOs) exhibited a significant antimicrobial activity against all the tested strains, T. serpyllum oil being the most potent (MIC 2.5-5 µg/mL, MBC 5-10 µg/mL; MIC 1-2 µg/mL, MFC 2-4 µg/mL). In addition, T. serpyllum oil revealed the highest antioxidant activity in all the assays and was also the most effective one against all the tested cell lines, presenting GI 50 values of 7.02-52.69 µg/mL. Moreover, the EOs did not show any toxicity, at the tested concentrations (<400 µg/mL), for porcine liver primary cell culture. In addition to their traditional use in food and cosmetics, the great potential of the tested Thymus essential oils for application in oral disease and anticancer treatments, encourage further investigation.

“…Both cinnamon oil and clove oil added at 2% in potato dextrose agar (PDA) completely inhibited the growth of seven mycotoxigenic moulds (Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A. ochraceus, Penicillium sp. M46, P. roqueforti, P. patulum, and P. citrinum) for various times up to 21 days [12] and could also inhibit the growth of yeasts [14]. In addition, Soliman and Badeaa [13] found that ≤500ppm of cinnamon oil can inhibit Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A. ochraceus and Fusarium moniliforme on PDA.…”

Abstract-Antifungal activities of edible film incorporated with essential oils (cinnamon oil, clove oil, anise oil, citronella oil, orange oil, tangerine oil, turmeric oil, guava leave oil, nutmeg oil and lime oil) against a white-rot decay fungus (Trametes versicolor) identified from rubberwood were investigated. The disc dilution method was employed to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) by mixing edible film with essential oil at ratios 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4. It was found that cinnamon oil, clove oil and anise oil were the strongest inhibitors with the MICs and MFCs of 1:4. Decay fungi test of T. versicolor on treated rubberwood (coated with edible film incorporated with essential oils at ratio 1:4) were then conducted. After 12 weeks of exposure at 25°C and 100%RH, the average weight loss of each rubberwood sample was determined. The results indicated that rubberwood treated with edible film incorporated with cinnamon oil, clove oil and anise oil at ratio 1:4 were classified as "highly resistant" with weight losses of ≤10%. These findings suggested that edible film incorporated with essential oil has good potential for protecting rubberwood products from the attack of T. versicolor.
