摘要: Abstract The antifungal activities of cinnamon oil, clove anise and peppermint their main components (cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, trans -anethole, menthol, respectively) against molds identified from areca palm leaf sheath ( Mucor dimorphosporus , Penicillium sp., Aspergillus niger Rhizopus sp.) were investigated. An agar dilution method was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) essential oils components. Zone inhibition tests effect dip-treated with those examined. Major on during storage quantified by gas chromatography analysis. MIC values identical. With an 50 μg ml −1 oil had strongest effect. At MICs capable providing protection mold growth for at least 12 weeks 25 °C 100% RH. Scanning electron microscope examination showed that prevented spore germination. Except menthol in oils, which fairly stable over period, largely contributed activity.
