In recent decades, increasing attention has been paid to food safety and organic horticulture. Thus, people are looking for natural products to manage plant diseases, pests, and weeds. Essential oils (EOs) or EO-based products are potentially promising candidates for biocontrol agents due to their safe, bioactive, biodegradable, ecologically, and economically viable properties. Born of necessity or commercial interest to satisfy market demand for natural products, this emerging technology is highly anticipated, but its application has been limited without the benefit of a thorough analysis of the scientific evidence on efficacy, scope, and mechanism of action. This review covers the uses of EOs as broad-spectrum biocontrol agents in both preharvest and postharvest systems. The known functions of EOs in suppressing fungi, bacteria, viruses, pests, and weeds are briefly summarized. Related results and possible modes of action from recent research are listed. The weaknesses of applying EOs are also discussed, such as high volatility and low stability, low water solubility, strong influence on organoleptic properties, and phytotoxic effects. Therefore, EO formulations and methods of incorporation to enhance the strengths and compensate for the shortages are outlined. This review also concludes with research directions needed to better understand and fully evaluate EOs and provides an outlook on the prospects for future applications of EOs in organic horticulture production.

“…Several diseases, primarily of fungal origin, affect papaya fruits as they ripen, and a considerable percentage of fruits are lost after harvest. According to the Samithri et al (2020), Phomopsis rot (Phomopsis caricae-papayae), stem-end rot (Lasiodiplodia theobromae) and Anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) are the most common postharvest diseases of papaya in Sri Lanka, causing up to 45% postharvest losses (Sarananda et al, 2004).…”

Post-harvest losses of Carica papaya are considerably high throughout the supply chain due to variety of reasons. Spray drying is one of the potential preservation technologies to address this issue. Therefore, this research was conducted to identify the most acceptable carrier agent for papaya spray drying. The final quality of the product was tested with Maltodextrin and Glucose syrup with three different concentrations and at three different temperatures. Processing temperatures of 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C were employed, with three concentrations (7.4%, 11.5%, and 15.3%) of carrier agents. The results revealed that temperature and carrier agent concentration had no effect on ascorbic acid, solubility, and pH (P>0.05). But the titratable acidity, moisture content and rehydration duration of dried powder differed. With increasing temperature, ascorbic acid and moisture content decreased while the pH of the solution increased with temperature and concentration.

Use of essential oil for post-harvest pest control

Since past few decades, application of essential oils (EOs) was explored experimentally for the management of postharvest pests and diseases. However, uses of essential oils face a series of problems, including regulatory obstruction to commercialization (such as cost of toxicological and environmental assessments) or the way that efficiency of essential oils toward pests and diseases is not as evident or clear as that seen with the present available forms. This review highlights several issues extending from EOs chemistry to their bioactivity potential. The mechanism of action of EOs is also discussed to provide better understanding about their functions and improve the scope for the establishment of commercial opportunities in the form of natural biocontrol agents/botanical pesticides.
