With a goal to identify specific essential oils that can control postharvest Rhizopus rot on strawberry and peach fruits, we performed screening for 26 essential oils based on their antifungal activity against Rhizopus stolonifer in vitro and investigated the underlying mechanism.

Mint and thyme essential oils show promising antifungal activity against Rhizopus stolonifer, potentially benefiting postharvest preservation of strawberries and peaches.
