“…Furthermore, investigating the fumigant toxicity of EOs extracted from different plant parts has demonstrated that their toxicity may be deeply altered. As an example, the EOs from Cinnamomum camphora (Lauraceae) and Platycladus orientalis (Cupressaceae) fruits presented an insecticidal activity almost close to zero, compared with that recorded for EOs extracted from leaves and barks of the same plants [91,92]. e synergistic effect of EOs with other compounds may enhance their fumigant toxicity.…”

Among botanical extracts used as insecticides, essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives to chemical insecticides. EOs are synthesized by plants, and they play a key role in plant signaling processes including also attractiveness toward pollinators and beneficial insects. Plant species producing essential oils (over 17,000 species) are called aromatic plants and are distributed worldwide. Our review aims to evaluate research studies published in the last 15 years concerning the use of EOs in stored product protection. More than 50% of the retrieved manuscripts have been published by authors from Eastern countries (Iran, China, India, and Pakistan), investigating different aspects related to insect pest management (exposure route, effect on the target pest, and mode of action). Coleoptera was the most studied insect order (85.41%) followed by Lepidoptera (11.49%), whereas few studies targeted new emerging pests (e.g., Psocoptera). Almost all the trials were carried out under laboratory conditions, while no experiments were conducted under real operating conditions. Future research studies concerning the use of EOs as insecticides should focus on the development of insecticide formulations which could be successfully applied to different production realities.

“…e stem barks were air-dried in the room temperate and ground to powder. e essential oil (EO) was available from our previous work [9]. After the preparation of EO, the residual materials were air-dried in the room temperate again and extracted with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (1 : 1) under ultrasound for three replicates (the liquid-to-solid ratio is 1 : 10, 1 : 10, and 1 : 8, respectively).…”

“…It was popularly made into a storage box as an essential dowry when a girl gets married in ancient China due to its good practicability of preventing clothing, leather, specimens, archive files, and other items suffering from pests and moulds. Modern research confirmed that the natural extracts from C. camphora have insecticidal, repellent [7][8][9][10] and antifeedant activities [11] and progeny suppression [12]. Most published articles focus on the essential oil of C. camphora.…”

Three lignans (1–3) and three butanolides (4–6) were isolated from the lipophilic extract of the Cinnamomum camphora stem bark. The six compounds were identified as (-)-sesamin (1), 9α-hydroxysesamin (2), 9β-hydroxysesamin (3), obtusilactone A (4), isoobtusilactone A (IOA, 5), and isomahubanolide (6) from their spectroscopic data. Four (1, 2 and 5, 6) of them were evaluated for their repellent and feeding deterrent activities against Tribolium castaneum. In this work, the three butanolides (4–6) were confirmed to exist in C. camphora for the first time. Results of bioassays indicated that (-)-sesamin (1), IOA (5), and isomahubanolide (6) displayed certain repellent activities against T. castaneum at 78.63, 15.73, and 3.15 μg/cm2 at 2 h after exposure. Among the three compounds, (-)-sesamin (1) and IOA (5) exerted stronger effects and maintained longer duration of repellency. Furthermore, IOA (5) and isomahubanolide (6) showed good feeding deterrent activity against T. castaneum. IOA (5) was still potently active at low concentrations with the feeding deterrence index (FDI) ranging from 42.85% to 50.66% at 15–1500 ppm. This work provides some evidence for explaining antiinsect properties of the nonvolatile fraction of the C. camphora stem bark and helps promote the development and comprehensive utilization of this tree species.
