The Effect of Ethanol Extracts and Essential Oils Obtained from Different Varieties of Mint on Wood Molding

This paper presents the results of research on effect essential oils and ethanol extracts growth mold fungi Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood. The analysis fungal microbial medium showed that degree inhibition microorganism depends amount extract added to medium. At same time, it was found highest dose extract, amounting 5.0 cm3, almost completely inhibited fungi. In addition, mint extracts, application which in wood is at least 40 g/m2, have a fungistatic initial stage development. Solutions turned out be more active against fungi, although also this case desired biocidal not achieved. Essential significantly slowed down fungus Ch. globosum, with strongest for ‘Morocco’ spearmint oil (Mentha spicata L.). Despite fact tests agar-maltose medium, activity globosum ‘Crispa’ oil, so clearly visible studies applied surface T. viride fungus, but extent globosum. qualitative quantitative composition substances belonging group terpenes their derivatives characterized using GCMS technique. It shown mints were dominated by oxygen-containing monoterpenoid monoterpene groups. terms quality, richer.
