The Antifungal Activity of Cinnamon-Litsea Combined Essential Oil against Dominant Fungal Strains of Moldy Peanut Kernels

Foods, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 11(11), P. 1586 - 1586

Published: May 28, 2022

The antifungal activity of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia Presl), litsea [Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers.], clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.), thyme (Thymus mongolicus Ronn.) and citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt) essential oils (EOs) against the dominant fungi isolated from moldy peanuts was investigated in this research. Firstly, strain YQM identified by morphological characterization 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis to be Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus). Next, effects single or mixed EOs on were evaluated inhibition zone test. cinnamon-litsea combined oil (CLCEO, Vcinnamon oil:Vlitsea = 3:5) displayed best effect YQM. chemical composition CLCEO quantified gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), results revealed that major components cinnamaldehyde citral. Finally, microstructure mycelia observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). exposed (CEO) (LEO) partly deformed collapsed, while treated with seriously damaged deformation phenomena such as shrinking, shriveling sinking occurred. Therefore, has great potential for using anti-mildew agents during peanut storage.
