Effect of Storage Management on Free Fatty Acid Content in Dry Cocoa Beans
The free fatty acid (FFA) content in dry cocoa beans is expected to be less than 1.0% to meet the acceptable level of 1.75% in cocoa butter. This study therefore investigates the impact of insect infestation on FFA formation in raw cocoa beans in storage from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Hence, the effect of storage management on FFA content in dry cocoa beans is very important. The effect of insec...
متن کاملInsecticidal Activities of Stem Bark Extracts from Vitex Negundo L. against Tribolium Castaneum (herbst)
Context: Medicinal plants contains some pesticidal activities that may control stored product insects. Objectives: To elucidate the insecticidal activity from the stem bark extracts of nishinda (Vitex negundo L.) and their toxicity against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Tenebrionidae). Materials and Methods: The powdered stem bark (250 g) was extracted with methanol (MeOH), eth...
متن کاملInsecticidal Activity of Flower of Tagetes erecta L. against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)
The crude extracts and its fractions of the flower of Tagetes erecta Linn. were tested for insecticidal activity against a stored product insect pest, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The chloroform fraction showed highest toxicity against both the larvae and adults of Tribolium castaneum followed by 50 petroleum ether fraction and ethanol extract. The LC values of chloroform fraction against firs...
متن کاملInsecticidal efficacy of diatomaceous earth against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Laboratory bioassays were carried out to evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of SilicoSec? against 7 - 14 day old adults, old and young larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) with the mean ? SE (n = 30) weight of 3.4 ? 0.1 and 0.6 ? 0.1 mg, respectively at 27?C and 55 ? 5% RH. Wheat treated with four dose rates of SilicoSec? and untreated wheat served as a control with three replications. Adult?...
متن کاملLaboratory evaluation of some indigenous plant extracts as toxicants against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst
Experiments were carried out to evaluate the toxicity of six botanicals, Bazna (Zanthoxylum rhetsa), Ghora-neem (Melia sempervirens), Hijal (Barringtonia acutangula), Karanja (Pongamia pinnata), Mahogoni (Swietenia mahagoni) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst. Leaf and seed extracts were prepared by using acetone, methanol and water as solvents. T...
