There is an increasing demand for fungi control in grains, especially toxigenic. Also, there growing concern on the use of synthetic fungicides; thus alternatives are needed. The aim this study was to evaluate antifungal and antimycotoxigenic action essential oils (EOs) from Zingiber officinale, Cinnamomum zeylanicum Cymbopogon martinii against Fusarium verticillioides, a spoilage toxigenic fungus. Essential were first chemically characterised by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry,...

An essential oil complex (EOP) of Cymbopogon martinii with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was evaluated as a strategy to stabilize the Palmarosa and increase its bioactivity. The complexation methods used were co-precipitation kneading, and, for comparison, physical mixing carried out. To confirm molecular inclusion, techniques combined characterization inclusion complex, such Fourier Transformer Raman Spectroscopy (FT-Raman), Attenuated Total Reflection Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR), Differential...

In the present study, biological activity of an extract secondary metabolites (E-G6-32) produced by Curvularia sp. G6-32 endophyte (isolated from medicinal plant Sapindus saponaria L.) was investigated. The antioxidant potential confirmed DPPH (22.5%) and ABTS (62.7%) assays, total phenolic compound content 40 µg gallic acid equivalents/mg. E-G6-32 displayed good inhibitory toward butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE; IC50 = 110 ± 0.05 mL-1). subjected to spectroscopic mass spectrometry analyses....
