Formulation of Essential Oils-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles-Based Chitosan/pva Hydrogels to Control the Growth of Botrytis Cinerea and Penicillium Expansum
International journal of biological macromolecules(2024)
摘要
Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum are phytopathogenic fungi that produce the deterioration of fruits. Thus, essential oil (EO) has emerged as a sustainable strategy to minimize the use of synthetic fungicides, but their volatility and scarce solubility restrict their application. This study proposes the EO of Oreganum vulgare and Thymus vulgaris-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) based chitosan/PVA hydrogels to reduce the infestation of fungi phytopathogen. EO of O. vulgare and T. vulgaris-loaded SLN had a good homogeneity (0.21-0.35) and stability (-28.8 to -33.0 mV) with a mean size of 180.4-188.4 nm. The optimization of EO-loaded SLN showed that the encapsulation of 800 and 1200 mu L L-1 of EO of O vulgare and T. vulgaris had the best particle size. EOloaded SLN significantly reduced the mycelial growth and spore germination of both fungi pathogen. EO-loaded SLN into hydrogels showed appropriate physicochemical characteristics to apply under environmental conditions. Furthermore, rheological analyses evidenced that hydrogels had solid-like characteristics and elastic behavior. EO-loaded SLN-based hydrogels inhibited the spore germination in B. cinerea (80.9 %) and P. expansum (55.7 %). These results show that SLN and hydrogels are eco-friendly strategies for applying EO with antifungal activity.
