Abstract
For increasing the shelf life and control of devastating fungal pathogen grey mould (Botrytis cinerea), tomato fruits during storage were applied different concentrations of ammi (Carum copticum) and anise (Pimpinella anisum) essential oils. First, antifungal activities of essential oils were tested on artificial growth media. The growth of grey mould was completely inhibited by ammi and anise essential oils at relatively higher concentrations. In second stage, fruits were infected artificially by grey mould spore and then treated with different concentrations of these essential oils. The results of in vivo conditions showed that ammi and anise essential oils applied at all concentrations were increasing the shelf life and inhibited the grey mould growth on tomato fruits completely in comparison to control. Fruits treated with these essential oils had significantly higher total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lycopene content compared to control fruits.
