The study investigates the antifungal effects of citral, eugenol, nerolidol, and α-terpineol on Trichophyton mentagrophytes, revealing that citral exhibits the strongest inhibition of hyphal growth. Electron microscopy shows that these terpenes cause significant morphological changes in the fungus, including distortion and damage to cell membranes at specific concentrations. The findings suggest these natural compounds could serve as effective alternatives to synthetic antifungal agents.
