Determination of Biological Effects of Sideritis vulcanica Hub. Mor. (Endemic) Essential Oil on Storage Pests Ephestia kuehniella Zeller and Cadra cautella Walker

Abstract

Water distillation (hydrodistillation) was used as the extraction method to obtain essential oil from the aboveground organs of the Sideritis vulcanica species, an endemic species belonging to the Sideritis genus in the Lamiaceae family, which is a family very rich in secondary metabolites and active compounds. The chemical contents of essential oils were determined by GC and GC/MS analyses. As a result of the analysis, 41 components were determined in the essential oil. These components constitute 94.13% of the total oil. The essential oil yield in 100 g of dry sample was measured between 0.2-0.3 ml. As a result of our analysis, β-β-caryophyllene (17.80%), germacrene D (8.99%), and β-pinene (7.35%) were determined as the main components. According to these results, it was determined that Sideritis vulcanica Hub. Mor. essential oil applications were effective on the egg count and total hemocyte count of storage pests Cadra cautella Walker and Ephestia kuehniella Zeller. The observed differences indicate that the essential oil has a significant effect on the developmental biology and immune ability of the studied insects and may be useful and usable for future research on the practical management of this pest.

Sideritis vulcanica Hub. Mor. (Endemik) Uçucu Yağının Depo Zararlıları Ephestia kuehniella Zeller ve Cadra cautella Walker Biyolojisi Üzerindeki Etkileri

Öz

Sekonder metabolitler ve aktif bileşikler açısından oldukça zengin bir familya olan Lamiaceae familyasında yer alan Sideritis cinsine ait endemik bir tür olan Sideritis vulcanica türünün toprak üstü organlarından uçucu yağ elde etmek için ekstraksiyon yöntemi olarak su distilasyonu (hidrodistilasyon) kullanılmıştır. Uçucu yağların kimyasal içerikleri GC ve GC/MS analizleriyle tespit edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, uçucu yağda 41 tane bileşen saptanmıştır. Bu bileşenler toplam yağın % 94.13’lük kısmını oluşturmaktadır. 100 gr kuru örnekteki uçucu yağ miktarı 0.2-0.3 ml hesaplanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda -karyofilen (%17.80), germakren D (%8.99) ve pinen (%7.35) ana bileşenler olarak tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Sideritis vulcanica Hub. Mor. esansiyel yağı uygulamaları sonucunda depo zararlısı böcek türlerinden Cadra cautella Walker ve Ephestia kuehniella Zeller üzerinde yumurta sayısınında ve toplam hemosit sayısı üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Gözlenen farklılıklar esansiyel yağının çalışılan böceklerin gelişim biyolojisi ve bağışıklık yeteneği üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve bu zararlının pratik yönetimine ilişkin gelecekteki araştırmalar için yararlı ve kullanılabilir olabileceğini göstermektedir.
