AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of cinnamon, fennel, origanum, and thyme essential oils on the fungus causing Fusarium wilt in strawberries.
- Results indicated that cinnamon oil was the most effective in stopping conidial germination, while the other oils provided moderate inhibition.
- The essential oils exhibited synergistic antifungal effects when combined, suggesting they can be useful in eco-friendly strategies for managing Fusarium wilt in strawberry cultivation.
Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine inhibitory activities of four volatile plant essential oils (cinnamon oil, fennel oil, origanum oil and thyme oil) on growth of f. sp. causing Fusarium wilt of strawberry plants. Results showed that these essential oils inhibited conidial germination and mycelial growth of f. sp. in a dose-dependent manner. Cinnamon oil was found to be most effective one in suppressing conidial germination while fennel oil, origanum oil and thyme oil showed moderate inhibition of conidial germination at similar levels. Cinnamon oil, origanum oil and thyme oil showed moderate antifungal activities against mycelial growth at similar levels while fennel oil had relatively lower antifungal activity against mycelial growth. Antifungal effects of these four plant essential oils in different combinations on fungal growth were also evaluated. These essential oils demonstrated synergistic antifungal activities against conidial germination and mycelial growth of f. sp. Simultaneous application of origanum oil and thyme oil enhanced their antimicrobial activities against conidial germination and fungal mycelial growth. These results underpin that volatile plant essential oils could be used in eco-friendly integrated disease management of Fusarium wilt in strawberry fields.

The processing techniques of camellia oil, containing freshly squeezed (FSCO), refined (DFCO), cold-pressed (OFCO), and hot-pressed (RFCO), significantly influence flavor compounds and organoleptic properties. In this study, the preference for FSCO and RFCO was revealed by sensory evaluation due to the "fruity" and "roasted" flavors, respectively. Flavor differences among oils were accurately distinguished by the E-nose.
