The present investigation reports on the <jats:italic>in\u2005vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in\u2005situ<\/jats:italic> antifungal activity of the essential oil from <jats:italic>Mentha piperita<\/jats:italic> and its two major volatiles (menthol and menthone) against <jats:italic>Fusarium sambucinum<\/jats:italic>, which is a causal agent of soft rot in cera pepper. The application of these components in pepper fruits previously infected with <jats:italic>F.\u2005sambucinum<\/jats:italic> caused a significant delay (p&lt;0.05) in the emergence of soft rot symptoms. This effect was reflected in the maintenance of pH and fruit firmness during a period of 10\u2005days. The nutrimental content of the fruits (protein, fiber, fat and other proximate parameters) was conserved in the same period of time. The nutraceutical content of these fruits was estimated by the quantification of seven carotenoids (violaxanthin, <jats:italic>cis\u2010<\/jats:italic>violaxanthin, luteoxanthin, antheraxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin and \u03b2\u2010carotene), ascorbic acid and capsaicinoids (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin). According to our results, the essential oil from <jats:italic>M.\u2005Piperita<\/jats:italic> and its major volatiles exerted a preservative effect on these metabolites. Our findings demonstrated that the essential oil of <jats:italic>M.\u2005Piperita<\/jats:italic> and its major volatiles represent an ecological alternative for the control of fusariosis caused by <jats:italic>F.\u2005sambucinum<\/jats:italic> in cera peppers under postharvest conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbdv.202100835","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]],"date-time":"2021-11-23T12:20:15Z","timestamp":1637670015000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Peppermint Essential Oil and Its Major Volatiles as Protective Agents against Soft Rot Caused by <i>Fusarium sambucinum<\/i> in Cera Pepper (<i>Capsicum pubescens<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Marco Antonio Kevin","family":"P\u00e9rez\u2010V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Agroecolog\u00eda Instituto de Ciencias Benem\u00e9rita Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Puebla (BUAP)  Km 1.7, carretera a San Baltazar Tetela San Pedro Zacachimalpa CP 72960 Puebla M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yesenia","family":"Pacheco\u2010Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Biotecnolog\u00eda Aplicada-IPN  ex-hacienda San Juan Molino carretera estatal Tecuexcomac-Tepetitla Km 1.5 CP 90700 Tlaxcala M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edmundo","family":"Lozoya\u2010Gloria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN Unidad Irapuato  Km 9.6 Carretera Irapuato-Le\u00f3n CP 36824 Irapuato Guanajuato M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clemente","family":"Mosso\u2010Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONACyT-Centro Regional de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud P\u00fablica (CRISP)  4a.
