Pers.], clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.), thyme (Thymus mongolicus Ronn.) and citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt) essential oils (EOs) against the dominant fungi isolated from moldy peanuts was investigated in this research. Firstly, strain YQM was isolated and identified by morphological characterization and 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis to be Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus). Next, antifungal effects of single or mixed EOs on strain YQM were evaluated by the inhibition zone test. The cinnamon-litsea combined essential oil (CLCEO, Vcinnamon oil:Vlitsea oil = 3:5) displayed the best antifungal effect on strain YQM. The chemical composition of CLCEO was identified and quantified by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and results revealed that the major components of CLCEO were cinnamaldehyde and citral. Finally, the effect of EOs on the microstructure of strain YQM mycelia was observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The mycelia exposed to cinnamon essential oil (CEO) and litsea essential oil (LEO) were partly deformed and collapsed, while the mycelia treated with CLCEO were seriously damaged and the deformation phenomena such as shrinking, shriveling and sinking occurred. Therefore, CLCEO has great potential for using as anti-mildew agents during peanut storage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods11111586","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,29]],"date-time":"2022-05-29T08:50:51Z","timestamp":1653814251000},"page":"1586","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["The Antifungal Activity of Cinnamon-Litsea Combined Essential Oil against Dominant Fungal Strains of Moldy Peanut Kernels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruolan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingli","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Huo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shichang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanxiao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7685-9063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akio","family":"Tani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Plant Science and Resources, Okayama University, Okayama 710-0046, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1207-4686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haoxin","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"746","DOI":"10.1111\/pbr.12621","article-title":"Changes in the protein and fat contents of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars released in China in the last 60 years","volume":"137","author":"Li","year":"2018","journal-title":"Plant Breed."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1080\/19440049.2021.2017001","article-title":"Analysis and classification of peanuts with fungal diseases based on real-time spectral processing","volume":"39","author":"Lavrinenko","year":"2022","journal-title":"Food Addit.
