Abstract

To clarify the composition and changing law of peel essential oils of bergamot and tangerine from Rutaceae family, as well as their freshness preservation and antibacterial effects, this study detected the composition and relative content of the two essential oils at different storage periods used GC-MS, and tested their preservation effect on mangoes and antibacterial activity using direct observation, spectrophotometry, and drug sensitive paper methods.The results showed that bergamot essential oil contains 10 different substances with high contents of limonene (46.87%), carvacrol (32.34%) and myrcene (10.99%). Ugly orange essential oil contained 7 components with limonene (69.77%), laurene (10.5%) and linalool (7.91%) ranking first in content.The α-pinene of the two essential oils showed the fastest volatilization rate, and the difference of volatilization rate among different components resulted in different dynamic changing trends of continuous decreasing, increasing first and then decreasing, and continuous increasing.With the treatment of two types of essential oils, the number and area of rot spots on mango surface were less than control group, while the peel chlorophyll content and sugar acid ratio in flesh were higher than control group.Except for the peel chlorophyll content, the performances of both essential oils in various preservation indicators improved with dosage increasing.Both essential oils showed good inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger, and both performed better on Staphylococcus aureus.The mango preservation and antibacterial effects of peel essential oil of ugly mandarin were superior to bergamot.Research indicated that the essential oils from the peels of bergamot and ugly mandarin showed significant development value in fruit preservation and antibacterial.
