Synergistic mixtures of chitosan and Mentha piperita L. essential oil to inhibit Colletotrichum species and anthracnose development in mango cultivar Tommy Atkins
Open accessAbstract
This study assessed the efficacy of chitosan (CHI) and Mentha piperita L. essential oil (MPEO) alone or in combination to control the mycelial growth of five different Colletotrichum species, C. asianum, C. dianesei, C. fructicola, C. tropicale and C. karstii, identified as potential anthracnose-causing agents in mango (Mangifera indica L.). The efficacy of coatings of CHI and MPEO mixtures in controlling the development of anthracnose in mango cultivar Tommy Atkins was evaluated. CHI (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg/mL) and MPEO (0.3, 0.6, 1.25, 2.5 and 5 μL/mL) alone effectively inhibited mycelial growth of all tested Colletotrichum strains in synthetic media. Mixtures of CHI (5 or 7.5 mg/mL) and MPEO (0.3, 0.6 or 1.25 μL/mL) strongly inhibited mycelial growth and showed additive or synergistic inhibitory effects on the tested Colletotrichum strains based on the Abbott index. The application of coatings of CHI (5 or 7.5 mg/mL) and MPEO (0.6 or 1.25 μL/mL) mixtures that presented synergistic interactions decreased anthracnose lesion severity in mango artificially contaminated with either of the tested Colletotrichum strains over 15 days of storage at 25 °C. The anthracnose lesion severity in mango coated with the mixtures of CHI and MPEO was similar or lower than those observed in mango treated with the synthetic fungicides thiophanate-methyl (10 μg a.i./mL) and difenoconazole (0.5 μg a.i./mL). The application of coatings containing low doses of CHI and MPEO may be an effective alternative for controlling the postharvest development of anthracnose in mango cultivar Tommy Atkins.

That binding damages membrane integrity, leading to leakage of cell contents and death.
“This interaction disrupts membrane integrity, causing the leakage of intracellular components and cell death (Bautista-Baños et al. 2003;Oliveira et al. 2017).”

Oliveira et al. (2017) found that 10 mg/mL CHI completely inhibited radial mycelial growth in other Colletotrichum species.
“Additionally, Oliveira et al. (2017) reported 100% inhibition of radial mycelia growth on other Colletotrichum species at 10 mg/mL of CHI.”

CHI's antifungal effect is mainly due to its cationic amino groups binding to anionic phospholipids in the fungal plasma membrane.
“CHI antifungal action is well-established and is mainly ascribed to its positively charged amino groups, which interact with the fungal plasma membrane's negatively charged phospholipids.”

Edible coatings containing mixtures of carvacrol and thymol are suitable for delaying ripening because these natural compounds are continuously released over time on the fruit surface, delaying firmness and peel color changes on papaya and mango.
“Edible coatings containing mixtures of carvacrol and thymol are suitable for delaying ripening because these natural compounds are continuously released over time on the fruit surface, delaying firmness and peel color changes on papaya and mango [51,52].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
