Abstract

Essential oils of Coriandrum sativum were extracted by three different methods, including steam distillation (SDE), solvent (SE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), to determine their acaricidal and insecticidal properties against Plodia interpunctella, Sitotroga cerealella and Tyrophagus putrescentiae. The fumigant bioassay against P. interpunctella, S. cerealella and T. putrescentiae revealed the strongest activity (LD50 9.38, 18.76 and 4.19 μg/cm3) of oil obtained via SDE, followed by extraction via SE (LD50 > 75.20, 21.11, and > 75.20 μg/cm3) and SFE (LD50 > 75.20, 27.36, and > 75.20 μg/cm3). The contact bioassay against T. putrescentiae revealed the most potent activities of oil obtained via SDE (LD50 19.29 μg/cm2), followed by oil via SE and SFE. The chemical composition of C. sativum oils obtained by SDE, HE and SFE was analyzed by GC–MS. The C. sativum oil obtained by SDE contained linalool (66.80%) compared with oils obtained by SE and SFE (70.67–70.80%). However, camphor (6.46%) was detected in SDE but not in the other two extracts. Based on the LD50 values of six major compounds derived from the three C. sativum oils against P. interpunctella, S. cerealella and T. putresceentiae, camphor was considered the most active (2.32, 19.31 and 3.24 μg/cm3, respectively) insecticide. The three values were about real camphor concentration in the oil via SDE. These results indicate that camphor contributes to the acaricidal and insecticidal activities of oil extracted via SDE of C. sativum seeds.
