Antifungal, Antimycotoxigenic, and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oils and Medicinal Plant Extracts

Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology, 2020

Fungi are among the most devastating pathogens which their infections can cause food spoilage and mycotoxin production. These detrimental effects caused by fungi can negatively impact foodstuffs, economics and health. Another harmful factor is oxidation process, which causes food degradation. Antioxidants inhibit or delay the substrate oxidation. In order to avoid food spoilage, contamination, destruction, and oxidation and minimize the harmful effects of synthetic food preservatives, there is a growing interest to apply plant-based materials in food industry. It has been established that plants possess antifungal, antimycotoxigenic, and antioxidant activities as they contain various bioactive compounds. The essential oils (EOs) and plant extracts have been shown to act against fungal pathogens. Therefore, EOs and plant extracts are considered as natural, safe and effective agents to preserve foodstuffs and safeguard health.

Effects of Essential Oil in the Inhibition of Fungal Pathogen

Essential oils are highly concentrated substances extracted from flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, barks, resins, or fruit rinds. These oils are often used for their flavour and their therapeutic or odoriferous properties, in a wide selection of products such as foods, medicines, and cosmetics. Extraction of essential oils is one of the most time-and effort-consuming processes. The way in which oils are extracted from plants is important because some processes use solvents that can destroy the therapeutic properties. There are wide number of ways to extract the Essential oil but the quality never remains the same. Here we are using the " Steam Distillation " method for extraction which is the cheapest way for the extraction of oils from the different parts of the plants. The present study constitutes an initiative to explore the anti-fungal activity of Trachyspermum ammi (ajwain oil), Cymbopogon winteranus (citronella Oil), Elettaria cardamomum (cardamom), Anethum gravelous (Dilseed oil) essential oil against fungal pathogen. Anti-fungal activity against Aspergillus niger were determined in terms of mycelial growth inhibition (MGI) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Trachyspermum ammi (ajwain oil) essential oil showed lower values of MIC against fungal pathogen. The essential oil also significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of the fungi. Hence, Trachyspermum ammi (ajwain oil) essential oil can be formulated into the antifungal ointments for topical applications in future.

The in Vitro Antifungal and Synergistic Activity of Selected Plant Extracts and Essential Oils Against Candida SPP

The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences, 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity and the potential synergistic activity of ten plant extracts (EXs) and ten essential oils (EOs) obtained from the same plant species, namely Agrimonia eupatoria L., Arctium lappa L., Arnica montana L., Bidens cernua L., Corylus avellana L., Echinacea purpurea L. (Moench), Menta piperita L., Trifolium pratense L., Syzygium aromaticum L., and Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels were used. Three species of the genus Candida, namely C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. tropicalis, isolated from polluted estuarine water, were used in this study. The chemical composition of all EOs was evaluated by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis. Firstly, the susceptibility of Candida spp. strains to EXs and EOs was screened by the agar disc diffusion method. Then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the tested EXs and EOs was determined in a concentration range from 256 to 0.125 µL/mL. Following that, the effective EXs and EOs were divided into two groups (strong effect and weak effect) and tested in combination (strong + weak) at various concentrations depending on the tested strain to determine their potential synergistic effect using the chessboard pattern. The most sensitive strain to treatments with EXs and EOs tested alone and in mixtures was C. albicans. The most potent combinations with other EXs/EOs were observed with Syzygium aromaticum L., for both plant extract and essential oil, respectively. In this study the EOs and EXs tested in combination were much more effective than when acting on the growth of Candida spp. separately. So, the synergistic effect of the combinations of the EXs and EOs can lead to a reduction in the doses of commercial antifungals and can provide an effective way to reduce the infections caused by yeasts of the genus Candida.
