Antibacterial effects of combined chitosan of eugenia oil and thymol coating on Monilinia fructicola in harvested peach
In order to increase the total antibacterial capacity of chitosan coating on the fruits, the antibacterial effects of coating- treated peach fruit by eugenia oil, thymol and the eugenia- thymol combination were comparaed.The effects were evaluated by the extent of the pathological spot changes and minimum antibacterial concentrations.The test results showed that the eugenia and thymol all had better anti-rnonilining fructicola effect and the thymol had better effect than eugenia oil.Moreover, the effect of combination of eugenia and thymol was better than the single ones.The eugenia and thymol both had the application potential for the fruit preservation coating.
