“…These results are in harmony with Yonsawad and Teerarak (2019) and Soliman et al, (2022b), who suggested that the essential oil may trigger higher antioxidant enzyme activity such as (POD, CAT or SOD), limiting the prospect for further free radical production of H 2 O 2 . Additionally, the activity of enzymes is controlled due to the antioxidant properties of plant essential oils, which are correlated with the senility of cut flowers.…”

“…MOE appears to be an efficient, friendly floral preservative due to its contents, as further detailed below. However, the essential oils of the Eucalyptus plant (EEO) are one of the most attractive essential oil for treating wound infections and has market potential as shelf life longevity via increasing the postharvest parameters of these cut flowers (Yonsawad and Teerarak, 2019).…”

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus ‘Servantes’) is a popular and economically cut flower widely used in the florist industry. However, post-harvest senescence occurs in a few days and limits the cut carnation flowers’ commercialization. Therefore, this research was performed to investigate the impact of essential oils such as tea tree oil (TTO), pumpkin seed oil (PSO), Moringa seed essential oils (MEO), and Eucalyptus oils (EEO), as eco-friendly preservative solutions to enhance the quality and longevity of carnation flowers. Carnation cut flowers were submitted to different concentrations (250 and 500 mg L-1) of each essential oil used in the vase solution and the experiments were carried out as a completely randomized design in three replicates. The findings revealed that the longest vase life and the maximum total water solution uptake in cut carnation were achieved when treated with either TTO or PSO oil at 500 mg L-1 in solution preservative as compared to the control (distilled water). While the highest relative fresh weight was observed at 500 mg L-1 PSO, the highest chlorophyll a, b, total carotenoids, total sugar, total phenolic content in leaves, anthocyanin content, and enzyme activity in petals at 500 mg L-1 TTO and PSO. Additionally, all treatments of selected oils have positively declined the bacteria activity compared to control. Also, the lowest bacteria growth on third day with 500 mg L-1 TTO and PSO. However, observing a prim state of xylem vessels with TTO 500 mg L-1and PSO 500 mg L-1, comparable with distilled water, the application of essential oil in this study as a natural preservative in preservative solution as an alternative to chemicals could be of environmental value and great economic.

“…Additionally, nonenzymatic antioxidants such as anthocyanin constitute an endogenous defense against ROS in flower tissues, with anthocyanin also contributing to petal color [ 66 ]. Many studies on cut flowers have demonstrated that natural antioxidants, including essential oils [ 67 , 68 ], salicylic acid [ 69 ], and moringa extract [ 70 ], delay senescence and extend vase life by increasing ROS scavenging activity; this also helps the flower retain anthocyanin content. In peppermint essential oil, the most powerful free radical scavenging compounds are menthone and isomenthone [ [14] , [15] , [16] ].…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de soluções conservantes, visando aumentar a longevidade, mantendo a qualidade, de hastes cortadas de Denphal (Dendrobium bigibbum Lindl.). O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado. Foram cinco tratamentos: T1 - água destilada (controle); T2 - 5% de sacarose + 50 mg L-1 de 8-HQ + 50 mg L-1 de AgNO3; T3 - 5% de sacarose + 100 mg L-1 de 8-HQ + 50 mg L-1 de AgNO3; T4 - 5% de sacarose + 100 mg L-1 de 8-HQ; T5 - 1% (20 mg/L) de óleo essencial de eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus); quatro repetições e dez hastes por parcela, perfazendo um total de 200 hastes. A solução conservante contendo sacarose (5%) e Hidroxiquinolina (8-HQ) na concentração de 100 mg L-1 mostrou-se mais eficiente comparado aos demais, uma vez que manteve a qualidade, prolongando a vida de vaso de hastes de Denphal por 30 dias.
