Mango (Mangifera indica L.), as a vital tropical fruit, suffers significant postharvest losses due to anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This study investigated the antifungal efficacy of oregano essential oil (OEO) against C. gloeosporioides and its regulatory effects on the postharvest quality of mango fruit. The potent antifungal activity of OEO is demonstrated by its low MIC (0.005%) and MFC (0.01%) against C. gloeosporioides. The antifungal mechanism was primarily attributed to the disruption of plasma membrane integrity of C. gloeosporioides, as indicated by increased propidium iodide uptake, elevated extracellular conductivity, and leakage of cellular proteins. The OEO treatment inhibited peel color transformation, reduced weight loss, maintained firmness, and slowed the increase in the soluble solids content to acidity ratio. Furthermore, OEO enhanced the fruit\u2019s antioxidant capacity by sustaining higher superoxide dismutase activity and suppressing the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase, leading to a marked reduction in malondialdehyde accumulation. These findings comprehensively demonstrate the dual functionality of OEO as a direct fungicidal agent and a systemic physiological regulator that delays senescence and preserves mango quality. This study underscores the potential of OEO as a sustainable alternative for integrated postharvest management of mango anthracnose, offering insights for its practical application in the fruit industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31050892","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]],"date-time":"2026-03-09T15:49:42Z","timestamp":1773071382000},"page":"892","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Inhibitory Mechanism of Oregano Essential Oil Emulsion Against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Mangoes and Its Regulatory Effects on Postharvest Quality"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6245-1371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Quality and Inspection & Testing, No. 11, Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing 100176, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Quality and Inspection & Testing, No. 11, Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing 100176, China"},{"name":"College of Advanced Agriculture and Ecological Environment, Heilongjiang University, No. 74, Xuefu Road, Nangang District, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenjie","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemistry for NBC Hazards Protection, Chemical Defense Institute, Academy of Military Science, Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Quality and Inspection & Testing, No. 11, Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing 100176, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baishu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Quality and Inspection & Testing, No. 11, Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing 100176, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lixiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Advanced Agriculture and Ecological Environment, Heilongjiang University, No. 74, Xuefu Road, Nangang District, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Quality and Inspection & Testing, No. 11, Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing 100176, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemistry for NBC Hazards Protection, Chemical Defense Institute, Academy of Military Science, Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110758","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodres.2021.110758","article-title":"Recent Advances and Future Perspective of Essential Oils in Control Colletotrichum spp.: A Sustainable Alternative in Postharvest Treatment of Fruits","volume":"150","author":"Ribeiro","year":"2021","journal-title":"Food Res.
