초록/요약
One of the major stored product pests, Indian meal moth causes the loss on the agriculture and food industries. This study was conducted to screen the insec- ticidal activity of ethanolic extracts and fractions parti- tioned by four different solvents [(1) n-hexane; (2) ether; (3) ethyl acetate; (4) water] from star anise (Illicium verum Hook. f.) against Plodia interpunctella larvae. Among all solvent-partitioned fractions, the strongest repellency was found for the n-hexane fraction of star anise extract. Sol- vent–solvent partitioning and chromatographic methods were further used to isolate and identify major anti-insectcompounds from star anise extract. The results showed that trans-anethole (94.24%) was the major active compound showing an insect-repelling activity against P. inter- punctella. Consequently, trans-anethole can be utilized as a main natural insect-repelling agent for controlling the P. interpunctella infestation.
