Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Khang Dang Vu"
- Khang Dang Vu's research focuses on the application of essential oils (EOs) as natural alternatives for pest and pathogen control, specifically targeting the rice weevil and fungal pathogens affecting food safety and storage.
- In a 2019 study, Vu investigated the synergistic effects of nanocomposite films containing EOs in combination with ionizing radiation to enhance fumigant toxicity against the rice weevil, finding eucalyptus oil to be particularly effective in achieving high mortality rates.
- A 2016 article highlighted the antifungal properties of several essential oils against various foodborne fungal pathogens, utilizing minimum inhibitory concentration assays and checkerboard techniques to demonstrate synergistic interactions among EO combinations.
