摘要
During screening of some essential oils against Penicillium italicum, the oils of Mentha arvensis, Ocimum canum and Zingiber officinale were found to exhibit absolute fungitoxic activity against the test fungus. The oils were subsequently standardized through physico-chemical and fungitoxic properties. Practical applicability of the essential oils was observed in control of blue mould rot of oranges and lime fruits caused by P. italicum during storage. The Mentha oil-treated oranges and lime fruits showed enhancement of storage life of 6 and 8 days, respectively. The storage life of Ocimum oil-treated oranges and lime fruits was found to be enhanced by 6 days while in the case of Zingiber oil, it was 4 and 8 days enhancement of shelf life of oranges and lime fruits, respectively.
