“…Also, the effect of menthol on the digestive enzyme's activity was studied and found to cause disruption in the enzyme's activity in treated adults of Rhyzopertha dominica compared to controls. A reduction in the specific activity of αamylase, protease, lipase, and chitinase was obtained (Tine-Djebbar et al, 2023).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the antifeedant and insecticidal activities of two essential oils, Jojoba and Cyperus, against the adults of the rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and their impact on the activities of α-amylase and lipase enzymes, in addition to characterizing their chemical profile using GC-MS. The GC-MS analysis revealed that the major components found in Cyperus oil are alpha-linoleic acid (17.67%), linalool formate (12.30%), á -Ocimene (11.6%), and oleic acid (8.08%). whereas the major components found among 21 components in Jojoba oil are citronellol (17.95%), lemonol (9.88%), and (S)-citronellol acetate (7.40%). The insecticidal activity of Jojoba oil was significantly higher than that of Cyperus oil, with LC50 values of 485.0 and 1700.73 mg/g for Jojoba and Cyperus oil, respectively. The results of antifeedant activity generally showed that the antifeedant activity of Cyperus oil was higer than that of Jojoba oil, and these results clearly appeared in the activities of both tested enzymes, α-amylase, and lipase, in treated insects with LC50s of both oils, as the activities of them inhibited significantly compared to control, and this inhibition was more significant in the case of Cyperus oil.

“…Moreover, biochemical studies showed that active constituents of EOs affect the digestive performance in insects through changes in enzyme activities. Any disruption in the activity of digestive enzymes limits the availability of nutrients for biological requirements [14,22]. Proteases are considered one of the most important enzymes in insects, as they hydrolyze the peptide bonds in dietary proteins to liberate the amino acids needed for growth, survival, and reproduction [23].…”

Essential oils (EOs), including those from the Asteraceae plants, have been shown to have promising insecticidal activity against a wide range of insect pests. Understanding the mechanism of action of EOs is one of the studied aspects. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of essential oils from Achillea millefolium, Santolina chamaecyparissus, Tagetes patula and Tanacetum vulgare on the settling and probing behavior of the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.). In addition, the effect of the oils on the activity of such enzymes as trypsin, pepsin and α- and β-glucosidase involved in the metabolism of proteins and sugars of the insects was examined. The leaf-choice bioassays demonstrated that the studied EOs limited aphid settling for at least 24 h after the treatment. The application of EOs also inferred with aphid probing behavior by reducing the total probing time and total duration of phloem sap ingestion. Aphids spent more time in the search phase due to an increase in the number and total duration of pathway phases. Moreover, the activity of the studied proteases and glucosidases significantly decreased in R. padi females exposed to the EOs. The enzyme inhibition varied depending on the applied oil and exposure time. Generally, the EOs with stronger deterrent activity also showed higher inhibitory effects. The results suggest that the tested EOs disrupt key digestive processes in R. padi which may be an important factor determining their aphicidal activity.
