“…15,28 It is a natural product that is also found in food sources and has an odor, which is generally described as pleasant. 62,63 Microencapsulated dUDL or other repellents may be used to impregnate garments or could be added to soaps and shampoos. Repellents with a spatial effect may also provide a degree of protection to outdoor spaces such as cooking areas, which are otherwise hard to protect.…”

Abstract. Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying have contributed to a decline in malaria over the last decade, but progress is threatened by the development of physiological and behavioral resistance of mosquitoes against insecticides. Acknowledging the need for alternative vector control tools, we quantified the effects of eave screening in combination with a push-pull system based on the simultaneous use of a repellent (push) and attractant-baited traps (pull). Field experiments in western Kenya showed that eave screening, whether used in combination with an attractant-baited trap or not, was highly effective in reducing house entry by malaria mosquitoes. The magnitude of the effect varied for different mosquito species and between two experiments, but the reduction in house entry was always considerable (between 61% and 99%). The use of outdoor, attractant-baited traps alone did not have a significant impact on mosquito house entry but the high number of mosquitoes trapped outdoors indicates that attractant-baited traps could be used for removal trapping, which would enhance outdoor as well as indoor protection against mosquito bites. As eave screening was effective by itself, addition of a repellent was of limited value. Nevertheless, repellents may play a role in reducing outdoor malaria transmission in the peridomestic area.

“…Among volatiles, delta-C8, -C10 lactones and n-octanol were the major volatiles responsible for the mature coconut fl avor (Lin and Wilkens, 1970), while pyrazines are responsible for the roasted taste of roasted coconut (Jayalekshmy et al , 1991). For the aromatic young coconut 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, the same compound found in Thai jasmine rice, was identifi ed along with many other volatiles (Auttarint, 2005).…”

“…The aroma of coconut water and meat is similar to that of pandanus leave (Petpiroon, 2001). The natural volatile flavor components of fresh coconut meat and/or oil are mainly d-lactones (Child, 1974;Lin & Wilkens, 1970).…”
