“…The OH radical is generated when H 2 O 2 encounters Fe 2＋ . Wang et al studied the Fe 2＋ chelating ability of Ocimum basilicum essential oil and found that the Fe 2＋ chelating ability of Ocimum basilicum essential oil was mainly due to the presence of Artemisia absinthium 32) . The ability of the essential oil to scavenge OH radicals can thus be seen in a direct scavenging manner, as well as in a manner that chelates Fe 2＋ before the onset of the reaction and thus prevents the production of free radicals.…”

Sunflower oil (SFO) is faced with serious oxidation problems during the deep-frying of ChineseMaye, and the search for natural antioxidants has become a focus of scientific research due to the potential toxicity of synthetic antioxidants. In the present study, the Foeniculum vulgare Mill. essential oil (FVEO), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) were added to SFO for a 30 h deep frying experiment and the results showed that FVEO added to sunflower oil at 1 g/kg was similar to that of TBHQ-0.01 g/kg, and FVEO-1.5 g/kg would promote the oxidation of SFO. FVEO to sunflower oil also prominently restrained the decrease of the sensory properties of the fried product, Chinese Maye, including appearance, taste, flavor and overall acceptance by 24.2%, 20.2%, 46.1% and 56.0% (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05), respectively. The results indicated that FVEO could be used as a natural antioxidant to replace TBHQ in the deep-frying process of SFO, but further research is needed on the key antioxidant constituent of FVEO.

“…The majority is instead washed away through washing, bathing, and laundering clothes, eventually entering the aquatic ecosystems. Further quantities of DEET can also enter the environment through inadequate disposal of containers (Weeks & Nikiforov, 2012;Zhu et al, 2020). Concentrations of DEET in countries such as Australia, Germany, Holland, Norway, Italy, America, and areas of Africa and South America had detected levels ranging from ng/L to mg/L, with concentrations being higher in municipal wastewater treatment plants (Merel & Snyder, 2016;Yu et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, a study found that garlic essential oil at a 1.4% concentration produced a high repellency index of 87% in a Type A repellency bioassay (Nchu et al, 2016). A separate study concluded that basil extract at a 15% concentration repelled 96% of tested ticks for over 2 hours (Wang et al, 2022). Finally, A study by Wong et al proved that rosemary oil extracts were more effective at deterring ticks compared to DEET, which is a common chemical acaricide used to repel insects (Wong et al, 2021).…”

The prevalence of tick-borne zoonotic disease in Ontario, Canada, has steadily increased over the years. Global climate change has exacerbated the geographical spread, activity level, and population abundance of disease-causing ticks, resulting in the increased circulation of tick-borne disease and significant adverse health impacts on humans, non-human animals, and the environment. Given that existing initiatives demonstrate subpar efficacy and longevity, low accessibility and feasibility, or pose threats to non-human animal and environmental health, it is evident a One Health approach is needed to address this issue. This paper proposes a cost-effective home gardening guide that could be utilized to create botanical acaricides that have been proven to deter ticks. The solution, which employs the process of steam distillation to create essential oils from plants, uses Kingston, Ontario, Canada, as an example and places emphasis on the health and well-being of the environment, wild and domesticated non-human animals, and humans simultaneously.

“…Natural repellents are an approach to decrease and overcome the risks associated with tick acaricide resistance and for integrated control of ticks and tick-borne diseases (de la Fuente 2018 ; Quadros et al 2020 ; Wang et al 2022 ; Sharma et al 2022 ). The main phytochemicals identified in C. viscosum are monoterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, glycosides, saponins, steroids, and flavonoids (Nandi and Lyndem 2016 ; Quadros et al 2020 ; Srivastava et al 2021 ).…”

Ticks attaching to ear canals of humans and animals are the cause of otoacariasis, common in rural areas of Nepal. The plant Clerodendrum viscosum is used in multiple indigenous systems of medicine by ethnic communities in the Indo-Nepali-Malaysian region. Visiting the Chitwan National Park, we learned that in indigenous medicine, flower extract of C. viscosum is utilized to treat digestive disorders and extracts from leaves as tick repellent to prevent ticks from invading or to remove them from the ear canal. The objective of our study was to provide support to indigenous medicine by characterizing the in vivo effect of leave extracts on ticks under laboratory conditions and its phytochemical composition. We collected plant parts of C. viscosum (leaves and flowers) and mango (Mangifera indica) leaves at the Chitwan National Park, previously associated with repellent activity to characterize their effect on Ixodes ricinus ticks by in vivo bioassays. A Q-ToF high-resolution analysis (HPLC-ESI-QToF) was conducted to elucidate phenolic compounds with potential repellent activity. Clerodendrum viscosum and M. indica leaf extracts had the highest tick repellent efficacy (%E = 80–100%) with significant differences when compared to C. viscosum flowers extracts (%E = 20–60%) and phosphate-buffered saline. Phytochemicals with tick repellent function as caffeic acid, fumaric acid and p-coumaric acid glucoside were identified in C. viscosum leaf extracts by HPLC-ESI-QToF, but not in non-repellent flower extracts. These results support the Nepali indigenous medicine application of C. viscosum leaf extracts to repel ticks. Additional research is needed for the development of natural and green repellent formulations to reduce the risks associated with ticks resistant to acaricides.
