Profiling of semiochemicals from three stored product beetles by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Nat Prod Res. 2023 Apr 18:1-7. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2200945. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work focuses on the profiling of semiochemicals (SCS) from Callosobruchus maculatus, Sitophilus oryzae and Tribolium castaneum by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. Totally, 6, 9 and 8 volatile compounds (VCS) were detected from C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. castaneum, respectively. As a result of pherobase analysis and preference bioassay, stearic acid (C. maculatus); nonanal, lauric acid and stearic acid (S. oryzae); stearic acid (T. castaneum) were identified as new SCS that could be useful for integrated pest management (IPM) practices.PMID:37070347 | DOI:10.1080/14786419.2023.2200945
