Case Study

Arundoin from Areca catechu Pericarp: a Natural Antifungal Candidate for Postharvest Anthracnose Control

Yenjit, Punnawich, et al. Postharvest Biology and Technology 55.2 (2010): 129-132.

Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is a significant postharvest disease affecting fruits like mangoes, leading to substantial economic losses. The search for effective, natural antifungal agents as alternatives to synthetic fungicides is a key focus in sustainable agriculture. This study investigated the fungicidal potential of Arundoin, a triterpene compound isolated from the pericarp of Areca catechu (betel nut palm), against this pathogen.
· In vitro potency (EC50, mg/L): fernenol 36.7, arundoin 47.5, stigmasterol/β-sitosterol mixture 56.7, lauric acid 111.5 - demonstrating that arundoin is among the more active isolates.
· Mode-of-action indicators: Arundoin, like fernenol and the sterol mixture, strongly inhibited spore germination and germ-tube extension, suggesting disruption of early pathogen establishment.
· Fruit-level efficacy: In mango assays, arundoin (applied at 100-200 mg/L) significantly reduced anthracnose development and performed better than the commercial fungicide benomyl under the experimental conditions; effects were dose dependent with stronger control at 200 mg/L.
