Investigating the impact of hydrophobic deep eutectic oil-in-water nanoemulsion on cell membrane degradation and inhibition of C.gloeosporioides in postharvest technology

This study examines the effects of a hydrophobic deep eutectic oil-in-water nanoemulsion (HyDEN) on the cell membrane degradation and inhibition of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. By analyzing post-treatment cell membrane morphology, we gain insights into the efficacy and mechanisms of action of antifungal agents. Significant changes such as disruption, collapse, wrinkling, and lysis were observed in the external morphology of C. gloeosporioides treated with HyDEN. When comparing control and treatment groups, HyDEN demonstrated more pronounced disruption and greater mycelial growth inhibition than Globus 5.5. HyDEN also effectively inhibited spore germination compared to Globus 5.5. Tests on intracellular ion leakage showed that HyDEN caused higher conductivity, indicating significant membrane disruption. Additionally, HyDEN led to a greater release of soluble sugars due to membrane damage compared to Globus 5.5. These findings suggest that HyDEN is a promising antifungal strategy, effectively disrupting cell wall and membrane functionality, and inhibiting fungal growth.

Effect of hydrophobic deep eutectic oil-in-water nano coating on the quality preservation of postharvest ‘Harumanis’ mango

A hydrophobic deep eutectic oil-in-water nanoemulsion (HyDEN) was developed as a potential edible coating for preserving 'Harumanis' mango. Preventing water loss in mango during postharvest handling and storage is crucial to maintain their quality and market value. Mango with high respiration rates during storage tend to have shorter shelf life due to issues like softening and over-ripening. Edible coating materials such as lipids, polysaccharides, and proteins have setbacks such as poor water vapor barrier and potential contamination which affect their performance in preserving fruit quality. In this study, a HyDEN coating was prepared to preserve 'Harumanis' mango. The HyDEN coating exhibited good stability, with a high zeta potential value of −42.02 ± 0.12 mV, a robust antioxidant property of 97.89 ± 0.14%, and relatively low mean droplet sizes averaging 210.04 ± 0.89 nm. The application of HyDEN coating effectively extended the shelf life of 'Harumanis' mango. Additionally, it slowed down the ripening process, preserving the fruit's quality in terms of weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, colour, titratable acidity, pH, radical scavenging rate, browning index, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and sensory attributes after 20 days of storage, whereas the control fruit began to overripe and deteriorate after 10 days. This study introduces a novel delivery system for applying HyDEN as an edible coating for postharvest fruit preservation.
