“…Effective pest management methods include phosphine fumigation, CO 2 treatment and radiation treatments and high temperature. In recent years, pest management has put more emphasis on friendly to the environment and cost-effectiveness [42]. For instance, the package can be treated with natural repellents that prevent L. serricorne from consuming the contents [43].…”

Background It has been a long-standing tradition of using herbal tea for preventive and therapeutic healthcare in South China and Five Flowers Tea is one of the most popular herbal teas. Based on the principle of traditional Chinese medicine, the pharmacological functions are to clear heat and dispel dampness in the body. Heat and Dampness are thought to contribute to a range of health problems, especially during the hot and humid season in South China and Hong Kong. The most prevalent herbs in the formula contain bioactive compounds including flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which have a wide range of pharmacological properties including anti-inflammation, antivirus, anti-diarrhoea, anti-bacteria and antioxidation. However, with the composition varies widely, the ethnopharmacological benefits described may not be delivered uniformly.This study is to provide a comprehensive analysis on the composition of the Five Flowers Tea sold in Hong Kong and investigate the rationale behind the selection of herbs used in the formula. This study also provides information on the variation and quality of the Five Flowers Tea in the market. Methods: Thirty-three Five Flowers Tea samples were collected from various locations in Hong Kong. The size, texture, colour, and organoleptic properties were documented. Macroscopic and molecular authentication methods were employed to identify the individual components. Results Macroscopic identification revealed there were 23 herbs belonging to 18 plant families. The most prevalent herb was Bombax ceiba L., followed by Chrysanthemum morifolium. Ten adulterants and the existing of insect Lasioderma serricorne were confirmed by DNA barcoding techniques. Conclusion This study employed a comprehensive approach to authenticate the herbs in Five Flowers Tea samples collected from various locations in Hong Kong. Macroscopic and molecular methods were used to identify the herbs and adulterants. The findings revealed the varied composition in Five Flowers Tea and the occurrence of adulterants in some samples. This shows that quality assurance of Five Flowers Tea is essential for the effective use of this popular folk medicine.

“…They are often found in retail stores, in various amylaceous commodities, and on perennial plants in the field, causing serious food loss and degradation (Naveena et al 2019). Lasioderma serricorne is also considered to be a major pest to stored soybean (Silva et al 2018) and dry cocoa bean (Jonfia-Essien and Navarro 2012). Lasioderma serricorne may be the most common stored-product pest just behind red flour beetle ( Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)) (Hagstrum et al 2013), however, there are very few reports on L. serricorne occurrence in coffee bean warehouses.…”

Cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.), is one of the most common stored-product pests. We monitored their population dynamics and distribution in two coffee bean warehouses in New Jersey, USA, using pheromone traps and sticky traps during September 2018–October 2020, and light traps in 2020. The two warehouses only implemented treatment procedures for controlling Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)) during the study period. The first L. serricorne adult appeared on pheromone traps from late May to early June when temperature reached 21–22 °C, and the last L. serricorne adult appeared on pheromone traps from late October to mid-November when temperature dropped to 10–14 °C. The majority of L. serricorne was caught during July−October. Light traps caught 5.5- and 2.2-times more L. serricorne per trap than pheromone traps in Warehouse 1 and 2, respectively. Warehouse 1 had a significantly higher density of L. serricorne than Warehouse 2. The L. serricorne activity peaks were not always clear and varied between year and the two warehouses. Zero to 3 hot spots, where had the largest numbers of L. serricorne, were identified from July to October in each warehouse based on pheromone traps, and their locations were similar through the months both in 2019 and 2020. The L. serricorne counts from pheromone traps placed inside warehouse were at least 2.3-times more than those placed outside. Also, the L. serricorne active period outside of the warehouses was shorter than that from inside of the warehouses.

“…Standard control methods for L. serricorne use chemical treatments which have negative environmental consequences, carry risks to the workforce, and have a negative impact on consumer health. Moreover, they are becoming less effective as the insect develops resistance [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] and the increasing regulatory restrictions on the use of insecticides is necessitating the adoption of alternative control methodologies [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The implementation of new and alternative methods could lead to a holistic integrated pest management (IPM) program, which is strongly desired by the manufacturers [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

In this context, the use of pheromones and other semiochemicals, such as food attractants (kairomones), for monitoring and control purposes is highly desirable for developing bio-rational control methods [ 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne F. (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is an important food storage pest affecting the tobacco industry and is increasingly impacting museums and herbaria. Monitoring methods make use of pheromone traps which can be implemented using chili fruit powder. The objective of this study was to assess the response of L. serricorne to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from different chili powders in order to identify the main semiochemicals involved in this attraction. Volatiles emitted by Capsicum annuum, C. frutescens, and C. chinense dried fruit powders were tested in an olfactometer and collected and analyzed using SPME and GC-MS. Results indicated that C. annuum and C. frutescens VOCs elicit attraction toward L. serricorne adults in olfactometer, while C. chinense VOCs elicit no attraction. Chemicals analysis showed a higher presence of polar compounds in the VOCs of C. annuum and C. frutescens compared to C. chinense, with α-ionone and β-ionone being more abundant in the attractive species. Further olfactometer bioassays indicated that both α-ionone and β-ionone elicit attraction, suggesting that these compounds are candidates as synergistic attractants in pheromone monitoring traps for L. serricorne.
