“…Bio-oil inhibited subterranean termite feeding significantly, according to Kadir et al, 2022(Kadir et al, 2022. Isoeugenol, according to (Huang et al, 2002), reduced RGR and RCR in adults of Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum, as well as ECI in T. castaneum.…”

Bio-oils are a complex material that is produced through the condensation of vapors raised from the pyrolysis of plant biomass components and consist mainly of phenolic compounds, benzene derivatives, and organic acids. Few studies have been conducted on the antifeedant efficiency of bio-oils. This study aims to evaluate the chemical composition, toxicity, and antifeedant activity of bio-oil produced from the pruning residue of Cupressus sempervirens in addition to two types of essential oils, Myrrh and Frankincense oil, against Sitophilus oryzae. The GC/MS analysis of the essential oils showed Diethyl Phthalate (75.15%) in myrrh oil, alpha-Thujene (30.70%), and Octyl acetate (20.44%) in frankincense oil. The results clearly showed the high toxicity of essential oils, myrrh and frankincense, and the low toxicity of bio-oil against S. oryzae after 7 days of exposure time, while the while the combined use of myrrh oil and frankincense oil with bio-oil increased the toxicity against S. oryzae about 1.91 and 2.27-fold, compared to myrrh oil and frankincense oil alone. In all treatments, the antifeedant parameters revealed that myrrh oil had higher nutritional indices than Frankincense oil. C. sempervirens showed a significantly low antifeedant efficacy compared to both essential oils. Generally, the values of relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), and efficiency of conversion of ingested food, (ECI) significantly decreased, and, contrariwise, the FDI increased in all treatments compared to the control.

“…Due to their complex chemical compounds, wood vinegar is hypothesized to protect wood from fungal and termite attacks. There are numerous studies that have tested their effectiveness against termites (Adfa et al, 2020;Arsyad et al, 2020;Kadir et al, 2022;Subekti and Yoshimura, 2020), other insects (Urrutia et al, 2021), fungi (Adfa et al, 2020;Oramahi et al, 2020a;Sharip et al, 2016), and bacterial attack (Misuri and Marri, 2021;Suresh et al, 2019). Sharip et al (2016) reported that condensates from superheated steam pre-treatment of oil palm mesocarp fiber at 190℃-240℃ showed antifungal activities.…”

The termicidal activity and chemical components of wood vinegar from two sources of biomass, nipah fruit shells (NFS) and a mixture of shells and fiber (MSF), were evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus. A no-choice test was carried out to evaluate their termicidal activity using filter paper samples treated with 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, and 12.5% NFS or MSF vinegar. Both wood vinegars exhibited antitermitic activity against C. curvignathus. The results show that increased concentrations of NFS and MSF vinegar significantly increased termite mortality. In particular, the NFS vinegar caused complete mortality and the lowest filter paper mass losses at 2.18% when treated with 12.5% wood vinegar. The most abundant chemical compounds of NFS vinegar were cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride, 2,5-dichlorophenol, 2-propanone, acetic acid, propanoic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenal, and trans-geraniol. Meanwhile, the main compounds in the MSF vinegar were 1,2-ethanediol, formic acid, acetic acid, ethanoic acid, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, phenol, 2-methoxy phenol, and 4-methyl phenol.

“…The possibility of utilizing pyroligneous acid as a wood preservative can be a great solution to extend the application of the currently fast-growing timber species, which has a lower natural durability against biological damage. Although much research has been conducted on the antimicrobial properties [13][14][15][16], none of the research has been carried out to study the effectiveness of pyroligneous acid as a wood preservative through vacuumpressure impregnation treatment. The impregnation technique has been commercialized for over 70 years, and it remains the ideal technique for ensuring pressure-tight components in failsafe applications; the chemical penetrates deep into the wood with the pressure and vacuum [17][18][19].…”

Production and Potential Application of Pyroligneous Acids from Rubberwood and Oil Palm Trunk as Wood Preservatives through Vacuum-Pressure Impregnation Treatment

The development of low-environmental-impact technologies for the elimination of biological damage is one of the vital goals of the wood protection industry. The possibility of utilizing pyroligneous acid as a wood preservative can be a great solution to extend the application of the currently fast-growing timber species, which has lower natural durability against biological damage. In this study, the effectiveness of pyroligneous acid as a wood preservative was evaluated by impregnating rubberwood with pyroligneous acid using vacuum-pressure treatment, and the treated woods were exposed to mould fungi, wood-decay fungi and termite attacks under laboratory conditions. Pyroligneous acids produced from rubberwood (RWPA) and oil palm trunk (OPTPA) at different pyrolysis temperatures were evaluated. To fully understand the effectiveness of pyroligneous acids as wood preservatives, different concentrations of pyroligneous acids were impregnated into rubberwood. Concentrations of 50% RWPA and 30% OPTPA were sufficient against mould and decay fungi on rubberwood. Rubberwood impregnated with pyroligneous acid acted as a slow-acting toxic bait to cause a high termite mortality rate due to toxic feeding and does not serve as a good repellent to prevent termites from feeding on the wood. In general, OPTPA has better biological durability compared to RWPA.
