“…Two esters, methyl butyrate and butyl acetate, were identified in relatively low abundance in the FP eggs only. These two compounds have been previously reported in fermented egg samples (Bullard et al, 1978). The source of these esters in the scrambled egg samples was not clear.…”

Volatile compounds in scrambled eggs were analyzed by dynamic headspace sampling, high resolution gas chromatography and mass spectromctry. Thirty-eight compounds were identified including aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, furans, esters, benzene derivatives, alkancs, sulfur-containing compounds and a terpene. Selected compounds were quantified. Aldehydes were the most abundant volatile compounds in the egg samples. Volatile styrene monomer increased in scrambled egg samples during 2 wk storage of shell eggs in polystyrene containers. Scrambled eggs prepared from supermarket shell eggs contained 7 times more ethylbenzene and styrene than those prepared from fresh farm eggs stored in polystyrene containers for 2 wk.

Renardine 1 is a bone tar product available for use as a coyote (Canis latrans) repellent in Canada. The substance is applied to pasture borders to prevent coyotes from entering and attacking sheep. Because data regarding the effectiveness of Renardine are lacking, we designed two experiments. In the first, six pairs of coyotes were first presented with 400 g of ground meat in two pans (200 g/pan) with false screen bottoms. Beneath the screens were absorbent tubes wetted with lO ml of distilled water. Subsequently, during a treaunent period, the absorbent tube was wetted with l 0 ml of Renardine. Pans were presented for 60 minutes, and the amount of time to consume the meat was recorded. In the second experiment, six additional pairs of coyotes were first presented with 200 g of ground meat inside a barrier created with baling twine and wooden dowels. The area inside the barrier was 1 m 2 , and the twine was tied onto the dowels 0.25 m above the ground. During the treaunent period, the twine and dowels were painted with Renardine. In both experiments, all coyote pairs consumed all of the ground meat shortly after presentation. We conclude that Renardine probably is not an effective coyote repellent. However, because the active ingredient in Renardine is bone tar oil and bone tar oil is deer repellent, we speculate that Renardine may have utility as an herbivore repellent.

“…"Synthetic Fermented Egg" (SFE) was attractive to ferrets (Clapperton et al 1989), coyotes (Bullard et al 1983), and dingos (Jolly & Jolly 1992). The volatile fatty acids contained in SFE are found in gland secretions of many animals (reviewed by Bullard et al 1978) and are used to communicate sexual and individual identity (Gorman 1976;Clapperton et al 1988). Odorous materials with which possums are familiar may therefore offer more promise than compounds that are simply strong-smelling.…”

Possum hunters believe that scented flour lures possums to cyanide poison paste baits, resulting in better kills. We tested 20 odorous compounds for attractiveness to possums in pens, then field-tested five of the most effective (cinnamon, aniseed, plum, cherry, and orange). Only cinnamon increased kills achieved with cyanide by acting as a lure and improving bait palatability. However, neither cinnamon nor any of the other four attractive compounds masked the hydrocyanic acid gas that is released by cyanide paste and detected by possums. When cinnamon was tested as a lure for attracting possums to bait stations, the numbers of possums visiting bait stations did not increase. Cinnamon functions as a lure only over short distances (i.e., up to 2 m). However, this may be useful in guiding Received 10 August 1994; accepted 6 October 1994 possums to cyanide baits used by hunters or aerially sown baits, many of which become hidden in the vegetation. Most compounds commonly used by hunters are unlikely to improve kills.
