Popis: Different liquid formulations of anise, coriander and black cumin essential oils were used for preparing some biocides. The prepared formulations were tested for their antimicrobial activity against some post-harvest pathogenic microorganisms. The tested microorganisms were Fusarium oxysporum (Dray rot of potato), Alternaria alternata (Black rot of tomato), Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, (Blue and green rot of orange, respectively), Botryitus cinerea (Gray rot of strawberry) and Erwinia carotovora (Soft rot of potato).The results revealed that the different formulations showed a complete inhibition effect on the growth of most of the tested microorganisms. Also, the antimicrobial activity of the formulated essential oils did not affect the formulation process compared with the original oil.
