“…However, the composition of the beverage is more closely related to the composition of the essential oil extracted from the leaves collected in the summer, which shows that the compounds present in the beverage are similar qualitatively to those in the leaves used to make it. In the case of the guaviduca beverage, which is consumed mainly for its anti-inflammatory properties, 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) is present, which, due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, broncholytic, and mucolytic properties, is used to treat diseases of the respiratory tract [ 23 ]. In 2004, Santos [ 24 ] stated that 1,8-cineole caused repletion of glutathione and reduced myeloperoxidase activity, which causes reduction of colon inflammation in rats, confirming that 1,8-cineole has an anti-inflammatory action and suggesting its potential use in the prevention of ulceration and gastrointestinal inflammation as a dietary flavoring agent.…”

Piper carpunya Ruiz & Pav. is an aromatic shrub native to Ecuador, the leaves of which are used to prepare the traditional beverage Guaviduca. Different health benefits are attributed to the guaviduca beverage, which is consumed as a traditional and folk medicine. In this study, fresh P. carpunya leaves were collected in the winter and summer and subjected to hydrodistillation for the extraction of the essential oil. The guaviduca beverage was prepared by infusion in water and the volatile compounds were isolated by liquid–liquid extraction. Chemical composition and enantioselective analyses were performed by gas chromatography. The antibacterial activity was assayed against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The scavenging radical properties of the essential oil was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydryl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was measured using the spectrophotometric method. The chemical analysis allowed us to identify more than 98% of the compounds in all samples. The main constituent of the essential oil was 1,8-cineole (25.20 ± 1.31%) in P. carpunya collected in winter and (17.45 ± 2.33%) in P. carpunya collected in summer, while in the beverage, there was 14 mg/L. Safrole was identified in the essential oil (PCW 21.91 ± 2.79%; PCS 13.18 ± 1.72%) as well as in the beverage (2.43 ± 0.12 mg/L). Enantioselective analysis was used to investigate the enantiomeric ratio and excess of four chiral components. The essential oil presented a strong activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae with a MIC of 500 μg/mL and a very strong anticholinesterase activity with an IC50 of 36.42 ± 1.15 µg/mL.

“…It is reported that (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenol, (3E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, and linalool effectively attract C. phyllochroma at specific concentrations, while (3E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene and linalool can enhance C. phyllochroma female’s ability to parasitoidism [ 80 ]. The compound 1,8-cineole, which is a volatile monoterpene cyclic ether [ 88 ], can be used as an insecticide. However, the same terpenoid contained in VOCs from cabbage plants attracts the parasitoids Cotesia glomerata that lay eggs in Pieris brassicae , a caterpillar of specific herbivores.…”

The interactions of plants with environment and insects are bi-directional and dynamic. Consequently, a myriad of mechanisms has evolved to engage organisms in different types of interactions. These interactions can be mediated by allelochemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which include volatile terpenes (VTs). The emission of VTs provides a way for plants to communicate with the environment, including neighboring plants, beneficiaries (e.g., pollinators, seed dispersers), predators, parasitoids, and herbivores, by sending enticing or deterring signals. Understanding terpenoid distribution, biogenesis, and function provides an opportunity for the design and implementation of effective and efficient environmental calamity and pest management strategies. This review provides an overview of plant–environment and plant–insect interactions in the context of terpenes and terpenoids as important chemical mediators of these abiotic and biotic interactions.
