Abstract

Cereal fungal contamination causes both economic and human health problems. In the present study, the chemical composition of commercial bay leaf, cinnamon, clove and oregano essential oils, and antifungal activity against three pathogenic fungi isolated from rice, were investigated. Essential oils presented a high percentage of oxygenated components: 78.8% in bay leaf (eucalyptol 52%); 90.5% in clove (eugenol 90%); 92% in cinnamon (eugenol 60% and eugenyl acetate 18.5%); 72% in oregano (carvacrol 50% and thymol 20%). Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were: 18% in bay leaf, 9% in clove, 5% in cinnamon, 25% in oregano.
