Research Project:
Determination of Anti-Insect Properties of Crude Plant Extracts As Well As Semipure and Pure Compounds from Plants
Location: Food and Feed Safety Research
Project Number: 6435-41000-097-01
Project Type:
Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 20, 2006
End Date: Dec 19, 2008
Objective:
Determine the insecticidal and/or insect retardant properties of aqueous extracts of bay leaf.
Approach:
(A) Crude aqueous extracts of bay leaf will be produced. These will be freeze-dried and then assayed in insect bioassays for insecticidal and/or insect retardant properties. (B) Crude aqueous extracts will be semipurified by column chromatography. Eluates will be freeze-dried and assayed in insect bioassays for insecticidal and/or insect retardant properties. (C) Compounds in the semipure extracts will be chromatography separated. Compounds will be assayed in insect bioassays for insecticidal and/or insect retardant properties.
