Comparison of antifungal activities of Vietnamese citrus essential oils
Citrus essential oils (EOs) are volatile compounds from citrus peels and widely
used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and aromatherapy. In this study, inhibition of
citrus EOs extracted from Vietnamese orange (Citrus sinensis), mandarin (Citrus
reticulataBlanco), pomelo (Citrus grandisOsbeck) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia
Swingle) on the growth of plant pathogenic fungi,Mucor hiemalis, Penicillium
expansumandFusarium proliferatumwas investigated. The EOs of the citrus peels
were obtained by cold-pressing method and the antifungal activity of EOs was
evaluated using the agar dilution method. The results show that the EOs had
significant antifungal activity. Lime EO was the best inhibitor ofM. hiemalisand
F. proliferatumwhile pomelo EO was the most effective againstP. expansum.
These results indicate that citrus EOs can be used as antifungal natural products
in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries
