چکیده

استفاده از عصاره و اسانس گیاهان می‌تواند جایگزین بسیار مناسبی باشد. چرا که ثابت شده است اسانس برخی گیاهان دارای خاصیت ضد میکروبی است. این مطالعه به‌منظور تعیین اثر ضد قارچی اسانس‌های زنجبیل، زنیان، ترخون و هل در پنج غلظت صفر، 200، 400، 600 و 800 میکرولیتر در لیتر روی میوه انار جهت جلوگیری از رشد قارچ پنی‌سیلیوم در شرایط In vitro و In vivo است. نتایج آزمایش In vitro نشان داد که افزایش غلظت اسانس‌ها، فعالیت ضد قارچی آن‌ها را نیز افزایش می‌دهد، به‌طوری‌که کم‌ترین قطر کلونی قارچ از غلظت 800 میکرولیتر بر لیتر اسانس به‌دست آمد. مقایسه میانگین نوع اسانس نشان داد که، بیش‌ترین میزان بازدارندگی در اسانس زنجبیل و کم‌ترین میزان در اسانس هل بر روی رشد کلنی قارچ مشاهده شد. نتایج اثر متقابل نشان داد که غلظت‌های بالاتر از 200 میکرولیتر در لیتر اسانس زنیان مانع رشد 100 درصدی کلنی قارچ شدند. در شرایط In vivo بهترین ظاهر میوه در انار‌های آغشته به اسانس‌های زنیان و زنجبیل به‌دست آمد وکم‌ترین آن در اسانس هل مشاهده شد. اسانس زنجبیل دارای بیش‌ترین میزان مواد جامد محلول (79/15)، فنول کل (194/0 میلی‌گرم اسید گالیک بر 100 گرم وزن تر) و سفتی بافت میوه (67/7 نیتون بر کیلوگرم) بود. بیشترین pH آب میوه و میزان آنتی‌اکسیدان از تیمار اسانس زنجبیل و زنیان حاصل شد. نتایج اثر متقابل تیمارها نشان داد که بیشترین میزان آنتی اکسیدان میوه‌های انار آلوده به قارچ پنی‌سیلیوم در تیمار 800 میکرولیتر در لیتر اسانس زنیان به‌دست آمد. نتایج این بررسی نشان داد که می‌توان از اسانس‌های گیاهی زنجبیل و زنیان به‌عنوان کنترل‌کننده بیماری‌های پس از برداشت در محصولات کشاورزی استفاده کرد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction

Long term storage of pomegranate fruit is compromised bypathogens that cause postharvest rots and decay. Pomegranatesare predisposed to attack from various pathogens at pre- and/orpostharvest stage, which has a significant impact on fruit qual-ity and storage life. These pathogens often cause damage to thetissues, thereby making the fruit unsaleable. A significant portionof pomegranate pre- and postharvest losses is attributed to dis-eases associated with various bacterial and fungal species. The use of plant essential oils is considered as a new idea in reducing post-harvest waste and increasing the storage life of horticultural products and controlling fungal contamination in developed agriculture. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the antifungal effect of some herbal essential oils in different concentrations on pomegranate fruit to prevent the growth of Penicillium fungus in vitro and in vivo.

Materials and Methods

In order to investigate the effect of the essential oils of some medicinal plants on the fungus Penicillium sp. in pomegranate fruit in In vivo and In vitro conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with three replications at the Faculty of Agriculture of Birjand University in 2022. The first factor included the type of essential oil: Ginger, Zenian, Tarragon and Cardamom essential oils, and the second factor included the concentration of essential oil at five levels (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 microliters/liter). The index measured in in vitro conditions was the radial growth of the fungus. The indicators measured in vivo conditions include appearance of the fruit, TSS, pH, total acidity (meq/g), total phenol (mg galic acid/100 f FW), antioxidant (%), antocyanin (mg/g) and tissue firmness. Finally, the experimental data were statistically analyzed using SAS program and comparison of means was performed by LSD test at 5% probability level.

Results and Discussion

The results showed that the increase in the concentration of essential oils also increases their antifungal activity, so that the highest inhibition rate was observed in Ginger essential oil and the lowest in Cardamom essential oil on the growth of the fungus colony. The most inhibitory effect of fungi included the essential oil of Ginger, Zenian, Tarragon and Cardamom, respectively. Also, lack of growth in essential oil of Ginger was observed in all samplings. The above results showed that the essential oils were able to stop the growth of the fungus colony and show a favorable inhibitory effect. In In vivo conditions, the best fruit appearance was obtained in pomegranates impregnated with Zenian and Ginger essential oils, and the least was observed in Cardamom essential oil. Ginger essential oil had the highest amount of soluble solids. The highest pH value of fruit juice was obtained from Ginger essential oil and the lowest pH value was obtained from Tarragon and Cardamom essential oils. The fruits treated with Tarragon essential oil had the highest total acidity. The fruits treated with Ginger essential oil had the highest amount of total phenol. The statistical comparison of the averages showed that the highest percentage of antioxidants was observed in the Ginger essential oil treatment and the lowest antioxidant percentage was found in the Tarragon essential oil treatment. The results showed that the infected fruits treated with Zenian essential oil with a concentration of 800 microliters/liter had the highest antioxidant. The results of the comparison of the averages related to the effect of the type of essential oil show that Cardamom and Ginger essential oils had the highest and lowest anthocyanin content, respectively. In this experiment, Ginger essential oil had the highest hardness of the fruit texture and the lowest index was obtained from the essential oil of Zenian.

Conclusions

In general, the results of this research showed that essential oils have antifungal properties in the control of fungal disease after harvest; In-vitro tests showed that Cardamom essential oil had a very low fungicidal effect and in the control of Penicillium sp. Ginger essential oil had the most fungicidal effect. Antifungal properties increased with increasing the concentration of essential oil, but the antifungal property of Ginger essential oil was 100% in 400-800 concentrations used. In natural conditions, Ginger and Zenian essential oil has good antifungal activity against Penicillium sp. Considering the biodegradability and low toxicity of plant essential oils, the use of Ginger and Zenian essential oil is recommended to increase the shelf life of food products and can be used as disease controllers in agriculture.
