    Abstract: The protection process comprises transporting vegetable products (1) in an enclosure (3), a phyto-protective treatment being applied simultaneously by placing a quantity of a porous mineral or vegetable material (5) inside said enclosure (3), in which a liquid containing an essential oil or a constituent of an essential oil is absorbed;



    the porous mineral or vegetable material (5) having a liquid absorption capacity of between 5% and 30% by weight at 20° C.;
    the evaporation rate of the liquid absorbed in the porous mineral or vegetable material (5) being between 10 and 200 g per day and per kg of absorbed liquid at a temperature suitable for the preservation of the vegetable products and at atmospheric pressure;
    the porous mineral or vegetable material (5) being arranged inside at least one openwork container (7) allowing an internal atmosphere of the enclosure (3) to circulate through the openwork container (7) in contact with the porous mineral or vegetable material (5).
