AB  - The main challenge in controlling the microbiological contamination of historical paper is
finding an adequate method that includes the use of cost-effective, harmless, and non-toxic biocides
whose effectiveness is maintained over time and without adverse effects on cultural heritage and
human health. Therefore, this study demonstrated the possibility of using a non-invasive method
of historical paper conservation based on plant essential oils (EOs) application. Evaluation of antimicrobial
effects of different EOs (lemongrass, oregano, rosemary, peppermint, and eucalyptus)
was conducted against Cladosporium cladosporoides, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Penicillium chrysogenum,
which are commonly found on archive papers. Using a mixture of oregano, lemongrass and peppermint
in ratio 1:1:1, the lower minimal inhibition concentration (0.78%) and better efficiency during
a vapour test at the highest tested distance (5.5 cm) compared with individual EOs was proven.
At the final step, this EOs mixture was used in the in situ conservation of historical paper samples
obtained from the Archives of Vojvodina. According to the SEM imaging, the applied EOs mixture
demonstrates complete efficiency in the inhibition of fungi colonization of archive papers, since
fungal growth was not observed on samples, unlike the control samples.
