Abstract

With the increasing demand of consumers for green products, people are considering using natural plant essential oils as bacteriostatic agents instead of chemical synthetic fungicides. Essential oils (EOs) are natural fungicides isolated from plants, which has the activity against various pathogenic microorganisms. It has a good effect in inhibiting fungal diseases and reducing the accumulation of fungal toxins, which is gradually widely used in food preservation, cosmetics, medicine and other fields. In this paper, the chemical composition and bacteriostatic effect of different plant EOs were reviewed, and its bacteriostatic mechanism was analyzed. Finally, the application of plant essential oils as antifungal agents and the research progress were discussed to provide a reference for the research of safe natural bacteriostatic agents.
