Abstract |
|
|
| Fruit peel extracts of irradiated Punica granatum were inspected under laboratory conditions for their insecticidal activities against the Rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae adults and compared with the extract obtained from unirradiated peels. Both the unirradiated and the irradiated extract caused different mortality, where the irradiated extract was the highest effect. Obtained results revealed that the highest mortality of unirradiated extract at concentration of 8% was 36.7% after 96 hours while irradiated extract with 10 KGy showed highly mortality 93.3% at same concentration and time. The data indicated that unirradiated extract had attractive effect. The results showed the opposite results when filter paper treated with irradiated pomegranate extract, the repellent effect increased with increasing the extract concentration. The highest effect was demonstrated after 2 hours, which the repellency percentage reached 93.3%. The effect of 10KGy of gamma radiation on total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of pomegranate peel powder was studied. Comparing irradiated pomegranate peel powder to unirradiated peel, a substantial rise in the percentage of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were observed. Also, the components of the ethanolic extract from unirradiated and irradiated pomegranate peel were identified by HPLC analysis. |
