Abstract
The antifungal activity of essential oils of Thymus daenensis, Thymus vulgaris, Satureja hortensis and Satureja khuzistanica as well as their major compounds were studied against mold decays of orange fruit. According to GC-MS analysis, the major compounds of T. danensis essential oil were thymol (65.5%) and alpha-terpinene (11.9%) whereas T. vulgaris was rich in thymol (59%) and p-cymene (15.6%). Carvacrol (88.4%) in S. khuzistanica oil and carvacrol (51%), gamma-terpinene (20.8%) and p-cymene (13.7%) in S. hortensis oil were charecterized as major compounds. The oil of S. khuzistanica and its major compound carvacrol exhibited the strongest fungicide activity against Penicillium digitatum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides at 300 µL/L. The results on orange fruits exhibited that the use of S. khuzistanica and S. hortensis EOs as spraying and dipping treatments could considerably reduce spoilages decays in the fruit.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Horticultural Science aims to provide a forum for original investigations in horticulture, viticulture and oliviculture. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the most recent studies of all areas of horticulture - fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture, floriculture, medicinal plants, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. Papers on horticultural aspects of agronomic, breeding, biotechnology, entomology, irrigation and plant stress physiology, plant nutrition, plant protection, plant pathology, and pre and post harvest physiology, are also welcomed. The journal scope is the promotion of a sustainable increase of the quantity and quality of horticultural products and the transfer of the new knowledge in the field. Papers should report original research, should be methodologically sound and of relevance to the international scientific community. AHS publishes three types of manuscripts: Full-length - short note - review papers. Papers are published in English.
