The effects of essential oil treatment on fruit decay and antioxidant capacities in Chinese bayberries were evaluated. Chinese bayberries were treated with essential oils, including carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, perillaldehyde, and linalool. Results from this study indicated that all essential oils significantly reduced fruit decay of Chinese bayberries, and the most effective compound was carvacrol. Treatment with carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, perillaldehyde, and linalool significantly increased total phenolic, anthocyanin, and individual flavonoid contents. In addition, all essential oils maintained significantly higher antioxidant capacities as measured by scavenging capacity against superoxide, hydroxyl, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals and by the reducing power test compared to the control. Moreover, the activities of antioxidant enzymes were also enhanced by all essential oils. Thus, postharvest essential oil treatment has positive effects on reducing decay and enhancing antioxidant capacities in Chinese bayberries.
