摘要

摘要: 综述柠檬草挥发油（lemongrass essential oil, LEO）在食品保鲜与农业病虫害防治中的应用研究进展。系统梳理LEO用于活性包装膜、可食用涂层、植物病原菌抑制及害虫防治的相关文献发现，LEO能有效抑制微生物生长与脂质氧化，延长食品贮藏期，并对多种储粮及田间害虫具有杀虫与驱避活性。结果表明，LEO是安全、有前景的天然防腐剂和农药替代品，未来应加强剂型优化与应用开发。

Abstract: To review the research progress on the application of lemongrass essential oil (LEO) in food preservation and agricultural pest control. Relevant literature on LEO for active packaging films, edible coatings, phytopathogen inhibition, and pest management was systematically reviewed. LEO effectively inhibits microbial growth and lipid oxidation, extending food shelf life, and exhibits insecticidal and repellent activities against various stored-grain and field pests. The result indicate that LEO is a safe and promising natural alternative to synthetic preservatives and pesticides, and future efforts should focus on formulation optimization and application development.
