House Dust Mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) Repellent Activities of Essential Oils from Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) by Fiber Coating Method
Abstract
Repellent properties of the essential oils (EOs) from clove (Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) against house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart) were evaluated by using fiber coating method. The essential oils dissolved in 95% ethanol and mixed with additive agents, musk xylene (MU) and propylene glycol (PG), at the concentrations of 1 and 5% were used as coating in a comparison with permethrin and standard eugenol. The tested synthetic fibers (micro crimp 9D) were soaked in each treatment for 30 min, dried in a hot air oven at 50°C for 2 hr. Then, they were separately kept in plastic bags and cloth bags at 25±2oC. The repellent actions of fibers coated with EOs were evaluated by direct contact and repellent index (%RI) was analyzed at 24 hr after application. The results showed that fibers coated with EOs and MU+PG kept in plastic bag showed no significant difference with used MU alone. Fibers coated with EOs at the concentrations of 5% with MU+PG kept in cloth bag had highly effective repellent, there for even within 10 weeks it gave 16.9-25.4%RI, better than used MU alone. Whereas, the EO concentration at 1% showed very low effectiveness, it gave 3.1-17.5%RI within 2 weeks. Fibers coated permethrin and eugenol kept in cloth bags also showed rather low effectiveness.
