The study reports chemically characterised Myristica fragrans essential oil (MFEO) as plant based food preservative against fungal and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination of scented rice varieties. chemical profile MFEO revealed elemicin (27.08%), myristicine (21.29%) thujanol (18.55%) major components. minimum inhibitory concentrations were 2.75 1.5 mg/ml, respectively. was efficacious a broad spectrum deteriorating fungi. caused decrease in ergosterol content plasma membrane enhanced leakage...
To date, several synthetic preservatives have been used for management of food losses caused by insect and fungal pathogens, however, development resistant races adverse effects on environment limited their applicability. Currently, essential oils bioactive components are well acknowledged control insects. Insecticidal antifungal efficacy reported to result from neurotoxic mechanisms like alteration in octopamine receptors, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ion channels, inhibition acetylcholine...
