Key Points

This research aims to explore the antifungal efficacy of cassia oil and sodium bicarbonate against Penicillium digitatum in postharvest oranges.
Evaluated the effectiveness on Penicillium digitatum growth.
Measured antifungal activity through colony-forming units (CFUs).
The combination significantly reduced fungal growth by 85% compared to control (p<0.01).
Cassia oil alone showed a 50% reduction in CFUs (95% CI, p<0.05).
Sodium bicarbonate alone reduced CFUs by 30% (95% CI, p<0.05).
