Effect of Zingiber officinale essential oil on Fusarium verticillioides and fumonisin production
文摘
The antifungal activity of ginger essential oil (GEO; Zingiber officinale Roscoe) was evaluated against Fusarium verticillioides (Saccardo) Nirenberg. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of GEO was determined by micro-broth dilution. The effects of GEO on fumonisin and ergosterol production were evaluated at concentrations of 500-5000 ¦Ìg/mL in liquid medium with a 5 mm diameter mycelial disc of F. verticillioides. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that the predominant components of GEO were ¦Á-zingiberene (23.9 % ) and citral (21.7 % ). GEO exhibited inhibitory activity, with a MIC of 2500 ¦Ìg/mL, and 4000 and 5000 ¦Ìg/mL reduced ergosterol biosynthesis by 57 % and 100 % , respectively. The inhibitory effect on fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) production was significant at GEO concentrations of 4000 and 2000 ¦Ìg/mL, respectively. Thus, the inhibition of fungal biomass and fumonisin production was dependent on the concentration of GEO. These results suggest that GEO was able to control the growth of F. verticillioides and subsequent fumonisin production.
