Syzygium aromaticum (clove)

This work aimed to evaluate the fungicidal activity of oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions of hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of shoots of Syzygium aromaticum. The activity of the biotechnological product was tested against three fungal strains Aspergillus niger, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Penicillium chrysogenum. For antifungal activity of essential oil nanoemulsion, MIC of 25 g mL-1 25 gmL-1and 50gmL-1was obtained against A. niger, C. gloeosporioides and P. chrysogenum respectively.The result for nanoemulsion of hydroalcoholic extract was 50gmL-1 50gmL-1and 100gmL-1for A. niger, C. gloeosporioides and P. chrysogenum respectively. On the other hand, the CIM the nanoemulsion of essential oil showed an activity against A. niger of 25gmL-1and against C. gloeosporioides it showed an inhibition gmL-1 in 25 and in the nanoemulsion of hydroalcoholic extract it had its best performance before A. niger of 50 gmL-1and before C. gloeosporioides which showed inhibition in 50 gmL-1.Finally, this study indicates the nanoemulsion of S. aromaticum as an alternative fungicide in the control and management of pathogenic fungi.
