Abstract

The present investigation assessed the effect of solvent extraction (ethanol, ethyl acetate, and acetone) of Artemisia absinthium L. leaves on the chemical profile, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, anti-cholinesterase activity, and contact toxicity against T. castaneum adults. The extraction yield showed that ethanol extract was the most effective solvent for extraction, resulting in the highest extraction yield (5,74 %). The HPLC analysis results showed that the main components identified were 5-desmethylsinensetin (34,7 %), quercetin-dimethyl ester-O-hexoside (15,95 %), quercetin-tetramethyl ester (7,32 %), and apigenin 6-C-glucoside 8-C-arabinoside isomer 2 (6,52 %). This extract recorded the highest total phenolic and flavonoid content, with a value of 2,91 ± 0.08 mg GAE/g extract and 1,13 ± 0,02 mg QE/g extract, respectively. The ethanol extract caused high mortality rates of 93,3 % of T. castaneum adults at the concentration of 95 mg/mL after 72 h of exposure due to its high acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitory potential (19,98 ± 0,10 mg/ml). A. absinthium L. extract can be an alternative to chemical insecticides to control T. castaneum.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Stored Products Research provides an international medium for the publication of both reviews and original results from laboratory and field studies on the preservation and safety of stored products, notably food stocks, covering storage-related problems from the producer through the supply chain to the consumer. Stored products are characterised by having relatively low moisture content and include raw and semi-processed foods, animal feedstuffs, and a range of other durable items, including materials such as clothing or museum artefacts.
