Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and in vitro antifungal activity of Mentha × Piperita L. (peppermint) essential oil (EO) against some plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternata, Penicillium expansum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Rhizopus stolonifer). Antifungal activity of EO against the selected fungi was conducted using the agar diffusion method by adding peppermint EO concentrations (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, and 2000 ppm). The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of peppermint EO showed that the main constituent was menthol (36.4%), followed by menthone (27.7%) and menthyl acetate (11.2%). The mycelium growth of the selected fungi was significantly inhibited by peppermint EO. Light and electron microscopy studies showed that mycelium morphology was seriously changed after treatment with peppermint essential oil. The level of malondialdehyde illustrated that peppermint EO led to lipid peroxidation in the fungal pathogens. Therefore, due to its antifungal properties, peppermint EO can be used as an additive in the food industry and as an active substance in pharmaceuticals.

薄荷精油的抗真菌活性

本研究的目的是研究薄荷精油（EO）的化学成分和对某些植物病原真菌（Alternaria alternata、Penicillium expansum、Rhizoctonia solani和Rhizopus stolonifer）的体外抗真菌活性。EO对所选真菌的抗真菌活性使用琼脂扩散法通过添加薄荷EO浓度（0250057501000和2000ppm）进行。薄荷EO的气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）分析表明，其主要成分为薄荷醇（36.4%），其次为薄荷脑（27.7%）和乙酸薄荷（11.2%）。薄荷EO对所选真菌的菌丝生长有显著抑制作用。光镜和电子显微镜研究表明，薄荷精油处理后菌丝体形态发生了严重变化。丙二醛水平表明薄荷EO导致真菌病原体的脂质过氧化。因此，由于其抗真菌特性，薄荷EO可以用作食品工业的添加剂和药物中的活性物质。
