Toxicity and repellence of aqueous and ethanolic extracts from Schinus molle on elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola

Influence of essential oil fractionation by vacuum distillation on acaricidal activity against the cattle tick

“…The activity of the fraction FR5 could be attributed to the geraniol and to the presence of sesquiterpenes and diterpenes, which, due to the higher molecular weight, could remain longer in contact with the parasite. The other essential oil investigated in this work, the pepper tree essential oil, has been previously studied showing antimicrobial and repellent activity (Ferrero et al 2006, Ferrero et al 2007Hayouni et al 2008, Huerta et al 2010. In this work, the toxicity of the S. molle essential oil and fractions obtained by the vacuum distillation on larvae of the cattle tick R.…”

“…Citronellal, geraniol and citronellol were the main components identified in the essential oil (Martins 2006). Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae) is a tree from the South America, originating from Peru (Huerta et al, 2010). It has active substances, such as terpenes, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, essential oils, and oleoresins, mainly in the leaves and fruits (Ferrero et al 2007).…”

Study of the Chemical Composition of Essential Oils by Gas Chromatography

“…Schinus molle L. (Common name: bolivian Pepper, molle, aguaribay, huaribay, false pepper, peruvian mastic, anacahuita), plant species of the family Anacardiaceae, native to the Peruvian Andes (Huerta et al, 2010), is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries (Wimalaratne, et al, 1996). The Schinus molle L. is widely spread outside their original geographical ranges, grows in North and Central America, Africa, Middle East and is cultivated around the Mediterranean in southern Europe.…”

Supercritical CO2 extraction of Schinus molle L with co-solvents: mathematical modeling and antimicrobial applications

“…The pepper tree (Schinus molle) is native from the Peruvian Andes (Huerta et al 2010) and it is widely grown in the tropical and subtropical countries (Wimalaratne et al 1996). The S. molle leaves are used for the extraction of an essential oil widely used in the popular medicine as a repellent and bioinsecticide (Huerta et al 2010, Ferrero et al 2007.…”

“…The S. molle leaves are used for the extraction of an essential oil widely used in the popular medicine as a repellent and bioinsecticide (Huerta et al 2010, Ferrero et al 2007. The volatile oil is reported to have antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antifungal and cicatrizing properties (Marongiu et al 2004, Ferrero et al 2006, Hayouni et al 2008, while regarding the nonvolatile compounds, extensive literature is available (Ferrero et al 2007, Huerta et al 2010.The chemical composition S. molle extracts depends on the factors such as the plant geographical localization, the genetic variability and of the technology used in the extraction process (Bandoni 2000). One of the main parameters of supercritical extraction is the type of co-solvent that is proposed to be used (Taylor 1996).…”
