Abstract
The essential oil from the aerial parts of Blumea perrottetiana was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. The volatile oil is dominated by 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene (30.0%) and 1,8-cineole (11.0%) with lesser amounts of sabinene (8.1%), delta-cadinene (5.3%) and (E)-caryophyllene (3.9%). The essential oil demonstrated notable insecticidal activity against the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, consistent with traditional uses of the plant as an insecticide and anthelmintic.Entities:
