Definitions
- the present invention relates to development of anti-fungal botanical based micro- emulsion formulation that comprises essential oils in dispersed phase and an aqueous plant biomass extract in continuous phase.
- Fusarium wilt is a fungal disease caused primarily by Fusarium oxysporum and it infects, among others, tomatoes and legume crops. Annual losses of up to 10-15% of the crop damage are associated with Fusarium wilt of tomato.
- These soil-borne fungi cause vascular wilts by infecting plants through the roots and growing internally through the cortex to the stele. The vascular tissues of the root, and then the stem, are colonized by growth of hyphae and movement of conidia in the transpiration stream. Initial symptoms appear as chlorosis and distortion of the lower leaves, often on one side of the plant.
- Foliar chlorosis, necrosis, and plant stunting become more pronounced as the disease progresses. Wilting occurs on the affected side of the plant, followed by vascular discoloration and stem necrosis. The entire plant wilts and dies as the pathogen moves into the stem. F. oxysporum, plays the role of a silent assassin - the pathogenic strains of this fungus can be dormant for 30 years before resuming virulence and infecting a plant.
- the pathogen is primarily spread over short distances by irrigation water and contaminated farm equipment but can also be spread over long distances either in infected transplant or soil.
- the disease or infection can also be transmitted through infected plant material and through contaminated soil.
- European Patent (EP 2826372 Al) relates to the use of an essential oil and/or a supercritical extract, both of which are taken from the Artemisia absinthium L plant populations in Teruel and/or the Sierra Nevada, as a fungicide, i.e., to control phytopathogenic fungi in agricultural crops.
- Bowers and Locke (2000) stated that several commercial formulations of botanical extracts and essential oils were being investigated as possible alternatives to soil fumigation for control of Fusarium wilt diseases.
- Seoud et al. (2005) discloses the antimicrobial activities (including fungicidal activity against F. oxysporum) of different plant essential oils and a biocide formulation prepared from these essential oils with the aid of emulsifiers.
- the continuous phase of the nano-emulsion is distilled water and is devoid of any active ingredients.
- Imael Henri Nestor Bassole et. al.: Molecules 2012, 17, 3989-4006 discloses use of combinations of EOs as a new approach towards increasing the antimicrobial efficacy of EOs in foods, taking advantage of their synergistic and additive effects. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview on the antimicrobial efficacy of these combinations. A survey of the methods used for the determination of the interactions and mechanisms involved in the antimicrobial activities of these combinations are also reported.
- Nasreen Sultana et. al.: Pak. J. Bot, 45(6): 2149-2156, 2013 discloses fungicides, microbial antagonists and oil cakes that were used in vitro and in vivo to control Fusarium oxysporum, in bottle gourd and cucumber.
- mustard oil cake amendment in soil significantly controlled the seed borne diseases.
- Mustard cake supplemented at high ratio reduced seedling mortality caused by F. oxysporum and markedly increased germination in bottle gourd and cucumber.
- it does not disclose development of a microemulsion formulation comprising aqueous mustard cake in the continuous phase.
- the present invention provides an antifungal oil-in-water microemulsion formulation comprising a) 2.5-5 wt.% of a mixture of lipophilic bioactive ingredients in dispersed phase; b) 18-57 wt.% of a plant biomass aqueous extract in continuous phase of distilled water; and c) 5-20 wt.% of an amphiphilic surfactant.
- an antifungal oil-in-water microemulsion formulation comprising a) 2.5-5 wt.% of a mixture of two essential oils at a ratio of 1 : 1 in dispersed phase; b) 18-57 wt.% of a plant biomass aqueous extract in continuous phase of distilled water; and c) 5-20 wt.% of an amphiphilic surfactant.

- the present invention relates to a fungicidal composition
- a fungicidal composition comprising bioactive ingredients from the plants which are both lipophilic (essential oils) and hydrophilic (plant biomass aqueous extracts) in nature, but residing in different phases of the emulsion.
- the composition is further characterized in that it is formulated as an oil-in water microemulsion.
- Microemulsions are homogenous, transparent, and thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water stabilized by a surfactant, usually in combination with co-surfactant with a droplet size typically in the range of 10-100 nm.
- a microemulsion may be in the form of a liquid or a gel, i.e. in liquid or semisolid form.
- the microemulsion is in liquid form.
- the preparation of microemulsion usually involves low-energy emulsification method.
- the lipophilic bioactive ingredients in dispersed phase of the microemulsion are plant essential oils.
- hydrophobic essential oils or aromatic plant essences
- EO hydrophobic essential oils
- plants which mainly include biosynthetically related groups such as terpenes, terpenoids, aromatic and aliphatic constituents.
- biosynthetically related groups such as terpenes, terpenoids, aromatic and aliphatic constituents.
- these EOs into water soluble liquid forms (emulsions, micelles etc.), intended to be employed for controlled release of active ingredients and protecting them from the external environment.
- the use of combinations, either from whole EOs or artificial mixtures of purified main components aims to increase the efficacy of the essential oil by taking advantage of the synergistic and additive properties that these components can exhibit.
- the lipophilic components in the dispersed phase of the microemulsion are selected on the basis of their synergistic performance against fungal wilt pathogen i.e. F. oxysporum. These components are chosen from a group of essential oils consisting of clove oil, lemon grass oil, mint oil, thyme oil, eucalyptus oil, ginger oil, sesame oil, basil oil, geranium oil, rosemary oil, lavender oil, marigold oil, preferably clove oil and lemongrass oil. Further, in such synergistic mixture, clove oil and lemongrass oil is present in a ratio of 1 : 1.
- cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae while Cymbopogon, better known as lemongrass, is a genus of Asian, African, Australian, and tropical island plants in the grass family.
- the chemical analyses carried out show a specific qualitative and quantitative composition of the EOs obtained from these plants.
- Eugenol 75.41%) is the major compound in clove essential oil while Citral-a (32.80%) and Citral-b (30.35%) ae the most abundant in lemongrass oil.
- Clove and lemongrass oil in the microemulsion formulation of the current invention is specifically present in 1 : 1 ratio in the dispersed phase.
- the total content of the mixture of EOs ranges from 2.5-5wt % and more preferably the composition comprises of 5wt% EO mixture.
- the anti-fungal efficacy studies of the present microemulsion formulation is carried out by analyzing their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against F. oxysporum.
- MIC minimum inhibitory concentration
- Such study as conducted in the present invention indicates that clove essential oil is more potent (31.25 ppm) and provides consistent fungicidal effect compared to lemongrass oil (62.5 ppm).
- the combination of the two has been found to produce a synergistic effect at a ratio of 1 : 1 w/w against fungal wilt pathogen, F. oxysporum.
- Such synergistic effect not only to enhance their antifungal efficacy, but also makes the preparation of such biopesticide cost effective.
- the present formulation further comprises an amphiphilic component (surfactants), preferably a combination of two surfactants (Smix).
- Suitable surfactants can be selected from the group consisting of phospholipids, alkyl polyglucosides, sorbitan esters with fatty acids, polyalkyleneglycol ethers of fatty alcohols (e.g. lauryl-, stearyl-, cetyl-, or palmityl alcohol), and/or pegylated mono- and diesters of glycerol with fatty acids for the development of microemulsion formulation.
- the preferred Surfactant mixture includes castor oil ethoxylates 40 moles ethylene oxides (CoE-40) and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate or polysorbate 20 (Tween-20) in the range of 1 : 1, 6:4, 7:3 and 8:2.
- the amount of Smix in the microemulsion composition ranges 5-20 wt.% which is relatively low surfactant content and in fact, one of the particular benefits of the present invention.
- the hydrophilic bioactive component used in the continuous phase comprise an antifungal plant biomass aqueous extract chosen from edible oil cakes (for e.g.
- the said continuous phase may further comprise of distilled water in combination with one or more inert liquid glycols, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, pentylene glycol, and/or polyethylene glycol .
- Mustard cake extract is prepared by mixing cake and water in 1 :5 (w/v) ratios followed by soaking in water-bath for 2 hours at 100°C. To get cake free extract, the mixture is filtered through muslin cloth and further centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 28°C to clarify the solution. The mustard cake extract obtained is considered as 100%. All ingredients are stirred at 750 rpm for 30-60 min to assure a stable and fine dispersion of oil particles in form of a microemulsion. Optionally, ultrasound treatment of the combined ingredients can be used to accelerate the formation of a homogeneous microemulsion.
- the composition comprises a larger amount of hydrophilic continuous phase, that accounts for around 60-90 wt.% of total formulation, wherein, the aqueous extract of the hydrophilic plant biomass is around 18-57wt% of total formulation or 25-75wt% of continuous phase.
- O/W microemulsion has distilled water as inert continuous phase.
- the present inventors have utilized the antifungal mustard cake aqueous extract in continuous phase.
- Such preparation of the antifungal mustard cake in continuous phase provides two major benefits. Firstly, it increases the shelf life to about 2 years at room temperature while such aqueous botanical extracts known to be highly susceptible to contamination having very short shelf-life (24-48 h).
- these aqueous extracts though cheaper, are weaker antifungal agents compared to essential oils, but when prepared in continuous phase, it enhances the overall potency of the microemulsion against Fusarium sp. induced wilt disease.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an antifungal, oil-in-water microemulsion formulation comprising: a) 2.5-5 wt.% of a synergistic mixture of two lipophilic bioactive ingredients in dispersed phase: b) 18-57 wt.% of an aqueous extract of a hydrophilic bioactive ingredient in the continuous phase of distilled water; and c) 5- 20 wt.% of amphiphilic surfactant.
- the present antifungal oil-in-water microemulsion formulation comprising a) 2.5-5 wt.% of a mixture clove oil and lemongrass oil at a ratio of 1: 1 in dispersed phase; b) 18-57 wt.% of a mustard cake aqueous extract in continuous phase of distilled water; and c) 5-20 wt.% of castor oil ethoxylates 40 moles ethylene oxides and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate are present in a ratio selected from 1 : 1 , 6.4, 7:3 or 8:2,
- a microemulsion formulation having 37.5 wt% mustard cake extract and 37.5 wt.% water (i.e. 1: 1 ratio) have a particle size of 54.20 nm, with MIC value 4000 ppm.
- the microemulsion formulation without mustard cake extract shows less potency against F. oxysporum and inhibits 100% mycelia growth at 6000 ppm.
- the microemulsion of the present invention may be prepared by any methods well known in the art. Such methods include condensation or low-energy emulsification methods (the system goes through low interfacial tensions during the emulsification process) or by application of high energy input during emulsification, the so-called dispersion methods (A. Forgiarini,J. Esquena, C. Gonza'lez, and C. Solans Langmuir 2001). To test the shelf life of the formulation, two formulations (with and without cake extract) are kept at 40°C at 70% Relative Humidity (RH) and 4°C for 15 days for their accelerated storage stability tests. After 15 days, no separation of phases (oil and water) have been observed, thus indicating shelf life of the formulation to be two years at room temperature.
- RH Relative Humidity
- a kinetic model is also developed to better understand the antifungal activity, especially when continuous phase is used as an active in a microemulsion formulation.
- the results demonstrate that present microemulsion composition comprising mustard cake in continuous phase is capable of killing fungal spores 1.33-7 times faster than those without them.
- the in vivo experimental studies for evaluating the antifungal efficacies of three concentrations of the current microemulsion formulation (MIC, IC90 and IC50) against - Fusarium sp. germination assay shows that the current ME formulation is non-phytotoxic to tomato seeds at all concentrations with germination % of 91-93%.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides a bio-pesticide comprising 1394 ppm to 4000 ppm amount of the oil-in-water microemulsion formulation developed in the present invention.
- the micro-emulsion formulation of the present invention that essentially comprises two opposite nature ingredients in two different phases of the emulsion i.e. lipophilic bioactive components in the dispersed phase and hydrophilic bioactive component in the continuous phase is advantageously capable of delivering antifungal active ingredients from both dispersed and continuous phases.
- the currently developed formulation is highly effective even after harsh storage conditions and shows antifungal activity under both in vitro and in vivo conditions.
- the present invention can be further described by way of non-limiting examples: EXAMPLES:
- Example 1 illustrates the quantitative effects of EOs used in the present microemulsion formulation comprising a mixture of clove oil and lemongrass oil in the dispersed phase, in terms of FIC (fractional inhibitory concentration) indices.
- FIC indices are calculated as FICA + FICB, where FICA and FICB are the minimum concentrations that inhibited the bacterial growth for EOs A (clove oil) and B (lemongrass oil), respectively.
- FICA (MIC combination / MICA alone)
- FICB (MICB combination / MICB alone).
- the results are interpreted as synergy (FIC ⁇ 0.5), addition (0.5 ⁇ FIC ⁇ 1), indifference (1 ⁇ FIC ⁇ 4) or antagonism (FIC > 4) (Schelz at el., 2006).
- Example 2 Preparation of oil-in water microemulsion containing EO mixture (1:1 ratio) in dispersed phase and mustard cake extract in continuous phase
- Example 2 illustrates the four different microemulsion compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention. These compositions are depicted in tables 2 to 7 below:
- composition A Composition A
- Example 3 In vitro Bioefficacy of microemulsion compositions (B and D) against Fusarium oxysporum (Before and after accelerated storage stability test)
- Example 3 demonstrates the enhanced antifungal efficacy of the present microemulsion formulation by virtue of the presence of hydrophilic mustard cake aqueous extract in the continuous phase.
- Microemulsions with different ratio of mustard cake extract are prepared and their MIC values against F. oxysporum are determined through poisoned food technique.
- PDA Potato Dextrose Agar
- 100 ml is poured into sterilized Petri dishes (90 mm diameter) and measured amount of microemulsion (for e.g. For 4000 ppm- 0.4g in 100 ml; and for 65000 ppm- 0.65 g in 100ml) is added to get the required concentrations.
- control sets are prepared using equal amounts of blank formulation (without active ingredients) in place of oil.
- a fungal disc (5 mm in diameter) of F. oxysporum, cut from the periphery of a five day-old culture using a cork borer, is inoculated aseptically into the centre of each Petri dish.
- the plates are sealed with polyethylene film and incubated at a temperature of 28+2°C until the growth in the control plates reaches the edge of the plates.
- the plates are used in triplicate for each treatment. Percentage inhibition of the radial growth by different oils compared to control is calculated using below equation:
- % Inhibition (C-T)/0100 where C is radial growth in control and T is radial growth in different concentrations of microemulsion.
- composition B without mustard cake extract
- D with 50% mustard cake extract
- composition D does not get affected (94.5% inhibition at MIC value of 0 day)
- composition B comparatively deteriorated in terms of efficacy and only 83.5 % inhibition is observed at its MIC value i.e. 6000 ppm ( Figure 2).
- Composition 6000 90 98.9 ⁇ 22.1 ⁇ 1.73 6.17 0.98 B 1.28
- Figure 3 demonstrates F. oxysporum spore reduction (%) during time by using minimum fungicidal concentrations of composition B and composition D (b).
- the kinetic models thus reveal 1.33 times faster fungicidal activity of composition D compared to composition B, thus justifying the significance of using active in continuous phase of the present microemulsion formulation.
- Example 4 Preparation of a comparative oil-in water microemulsion containing a single EO in dispersed phase and mustard cake extract in continuous phase
- Example 4 illustrates a comparative microemulsion wherein the continuous phase comprises of only one oil i.e. clove oil, as depicted in table 9 below:
- the above formulation is transparent microemulsions formed spontaneously upon mixing. After 15 days at 40°C & 70% RH, this sample of the microemulsions is visually inspected, and no indication of physical instability is found.
- composition G is found to be 6000 ppm.
- the MIC value thus obtained for composition G shows lesser efficacy than that of composition D (currently developed composition having MIC at 4000ppm), but is at par with composition B (without bioactive ingredient in continuous phase; MIC at 6000ppm).
- This loss of efficacy is attributed towards the presence of single/lower amount of EO in composition G which equates to the MIC of composition B that is devoid of any bioactive ingredient in continuous phase.
- the higher efficacy of current composition D is due to the presence of both these essential features together i.e. a synergistic mixture of two EOs in dispersed phase along with presence of an aqueous extract of a hydrophilic bioactive ingredient in continuous phase.
- Example 5 Effect of microemulsion (ME) formulation (composition D) on tomato seed germination and incidence of Fusarium wilt in tomato crops
- Example 5 illustrates the Germination assay conducted on current ME formulation.
- Tomato seeds (variety PUSA Ruby) are sterilized by 4% sodium hypochlorite solution by keeping the seeds in the solution for 2 minutes and then washed with distilled water 3 times and are soaked in tissue paper.
- Treatment consists of selected microemulsion (composition D) formulation with different concentrations (MIC, MIC90 and MIC50). Seeds are then dipped in different treatments for 30 min. 2 types of control are taken, positive control (without F. oxysporum, healthy soil) and negative control (with F. oxysporum, unhealthy soil). Experiment is conducted for 8 days and repeated thrice.
- Seedling Vigor is the sum total of those properties of the seed which determine the level of activity and performance of the seed or seed lot during germination and seedling emergence. It is measured by two formulas given below:
- results The data reveals that the present microemulsion formulation treatments do not affect the germination of tomato seeds even in the presence of wilt fungus and thus produce a healthy seedling indicated by high seedling vigour index as provided in table 10 below:
- seeds, seedlings and soil are treated with above mentioned three concentrations of microemulsion formulation.
- soil is autoclaved and artificially inoculated with Fusarium spores (@ 2.6 x 10 5 spores/g soil). Seeds are treated with microemulsion formulations by the method used for germination study, but herein, seeds are sowed directly into 1 kg diseased pot.
- seedling treatment healthy eight-leaf staged seedlings of tomato are treated with three respective concentrations of microemulsion while in case of soil treatment; soil of pot is treated @ 5 ml per 150 cc soil. Healthy and untreated seedlings are taken as control.
