Abstract (es)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the insecticidal potential of the essential oil from ripened and unripened fruit of the plant Schinus terebinthifolius and compare the toxic effects of artificial blends made with selected constituents of these oils [limonene, (E)-nerolidol, α-terpineol, β-terpineol, terpinolene, α-pinene and β-pinene] on the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (family -order). No statistically significant difference was found between the oils in the time periods tested (24, 48 and 72 h). Rhyzopertha dominica was more susceptible to limonene, terpinolene, α-pinene and β-pinene. Among the complete artificial blends tested at the proportions identified chemically, only that prepared with the constituents of the ripened fruit oil demonstrated toxicity on the same level as the essential oil. The analysis of the constituents revealed that limonene and α-terpineol contributed most to toxicity of the ripened fruit oil, whereas only limonene contributed to the toxicity of the unripened fruit oil. The present findings demonstrate that the toxicity of the ripened and unripened fruit oils cannot be attributed only to the individual toxicity of the constituents, but also the proportion at which these compounds are found and the types of interactions among the compounds.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el potencial insecticida de los aceites esenciales de los frutos maduros y no maduros de la planta Schinus terebinthifolius y comparar los efectos tóxicos de mezclas artificiales con los constituyentes seleccionados de estos aceites [limoneno, (E)-nerolidol, α-terpineol, β-terpineol, terpinoleno, α-pineno y β-pineno] en el barrenador de grano pequeño, Rhyzopertha dominica. La susceptibilidad de la plaga a los aceites aumentó con el tiempo. No se encontró diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los aceites en los períodos de tiempo evaluados (24, 48 y 72 h). Rhyzopertha dominica fue más susceptible al limoneno, terpinoleno, α-pineno y β-pineno. Entre las mezclas artificiales completas, ensayadas en las proporciones caracterizadas químicamente, solamente la preparada con los componentes del aceite de fruta madura demostró toxicidad al mismo nivel que el aceite esencial. El análisis de los constituyentes reveló que el limoneno y el α-terpineol contribuyeron más a la toxicidad del aceite de fruta madura, mientras que unicamente el limoneno contribuyó a la toxicidad del aceite de fruta no madura. Los presentes hallazgos demuestran que la toxicidad de los aceites de frutas maduras y no maduras no puede atribuirse únicamente a la toxicidad individual de los constituyentes, sino también a la proporción en que se encuentran estos compuestos y al tipo de interaccion entre estos.
