“…(Setzer et al 2005a;Boehme et al 2008), and was reported as an abundant component of Z. limonella (Itthipanichpong et al 2002) and Z. piperitum (Jiang and Kubota 2004) fruit essential oils. However, limonene was not detected in the leaf essential oils of many host plants of P. cresphontes including Z. fagara (Setzer et al 2005b), P. trifoliata (Takaku and Setzer 2007), and C. edulis (Miller et al 2009). Linalool and a-terpineol seem to be ubiquitous components of Zanthoxylum leaf oils (Setzer et al 2005a), and 1,8-cineole is an abundant constituent of Z. acuminatum leaf essential oil (Setzer et al 2005a).…”

We used the electroantennogram (EAG) technique to compare the antennal sensitivity of both sexes of the giant swallowtail butterfly, Papilio cresphontes to four doses (1, 10, 100, and 1,000 lg) of the leaf essential oils of Zanthoxylum clava-herculis and Ptelea trifoliata (key host plants) and Sassafras albidum (a marginal or non-host plant). The main hypothesis tested was that P. cresphontes will show greater olfactory sensitivity to volatiles of the key host plants than to volatiles of the marginal host plant, in particular at low doses. At the lower doses, extract of the key host plant, Z. clava-herculis elicited greater EAG responses in both sexes than extracts of the remaining two plants. At higher doses, however, extracts of P. trifoliata and S. albidum elicited greater EAG responses than extract of Z. clava-herculis. These results partly support our hypothesis and may suggest that Z. clava-herculis is a more preferred host plant of P. cresphontes than P. trifoliata. In general, female butterflies showed greater EAG responses than males to the three plant extracts at the higher doses. Preliminary coupled gas chromatographyelectroantennogram (GC-EAD) tests revealed four components each from Z. clava-herculis and P. trifoliata (three peaks common to both extracts) and seven from S. albidum (one shared with Z. clava-herculis) which elicited GC-EAD activity in P. cresphontes females, but the peaks were un-indentified because most were detected in trace amounts. In addition, the chemical composition of the leaf essential oil of Z. clava-herculis was analyzed by GC-MS. The leaf essential oils consisted of 25 components, largely menthane monoterpenoids, dominated by limonene and 1,8-cineole, but neither of the two major components elicited significant GC-EAD response in P. cresphontes. These results are discussed in relation to host-plant selection in P. cresphontes.

“…The Monteverde region of the central Cordillera de Tilara´n in northwestern Costa Rica, one of the floristically most diverse regions of the world, is home to at least six species of Zanthoxylum [7]. In this work, we describe the collection, bioactivity screening, and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of the leaf essential oils of Z. rhoifolium and Z. setulosum from Monteverde, Costa Rica, which complements our earlier work on other species of Zanthoxylum from this region [8,9].…”

The leaf essential oils of Zanthoxylum rhoifolium and Zanthoxylum setulosum (Rutaceae) from Monteverde, Costa Rica have been obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The principal constituents of Z. rhoifolium leaf oil were germacrene D (14.6%), limonene (12.5%), trans-2-hexenal (11.3%), beta-elemene (9.2%), 2-undecanone (9.2%), myrcene (7.9%), bicyclogermacrene (7.5%), and germacrene A (5.2%). The leaf oil of Z. setulosum was composed largely of beta-phellandrene (37.5%), beta-caryophyllene (13.7%), alpha-pinene (11.9%), germacrene D (10.9%), myrcene (5.9%), and nerolidol (5.4%). The essential oils were screened for in-vitro cytotoxic activity against Hep G2, MCF-7, and PC-3 human tumor cell lines; antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli; and for Artemia salina (brine shrimp) lethality. Neither Z. rhoifolium nor Z. setulosum leaf oils exhibited cytotoxicity or antibacterial activity. Both oils showed activity against A. salina.

“…Thus, the treated leaves possessing higher ascorbic acid concentrations can better tolerate the lipid peroxidation. Likewise, studies on the leaf essential oils revealed antioxidant, antibacterial, fungicidal, cytotoxic inhibitory activities, while they showed a potent free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation (Setzer et al, 2005;Schmidt et al, 2006). The mode of action of the chemicals seems to be completely different at high and low temperature.…”

Four different chemical treatments, GA 3 , 1-MCP, essential oils and nano-Cu, were applied immediately after harvest to Petroselinum crispum (Mill) plants. The efficacy of the above chemicals on shelf life extension of parsley stored at 5°C and 20°C was determined by analysing physiological and biochemical factors that determine quality standards of storage fresh parsley. Nonsprayed parsley revealed the highest loss of weight, ascorbic acid, pigments and an enhancement of CO 2 production and lipid peroxidation at 5°C and 20°C of storage. Nano-Cu was more effective for delaying weight loss and revealed a better storage capacity. GA 3 , 1-MCP and essential oils sprays were more effective in ascorbic acid retention at 20°C than at 5°C, whereas all substances protect samples from lipid peroxidation. Essential oils were more clearly inhibitory towards both total viable counts and yeast infection. Our results suggest that GA 3 , 1-MCP, essential oils and Nano-Cu exert their function through different mechanisms during ripening and could provide an effective and complementary means for maintaining high-quality parsley leaves after harvest.
