AbstractPheromone gland rinses of female maple leaf roller moths were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography and found to contain (Z)-11-tetradecenal, (E)-11-tetradecenal, tetradecanal, (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, and tetradecyl acetate in the average ratio of 33:20:8:21:17:2 for single female analysis and 31:16:6:16:27:3 for a pooled extract of 55 females. Identity of the tetradecenals, the tetradecenyl and tetradecyl acetates was confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Electroantennogram analysis indicated that (Z)-11-tetradecenal followed by (E)-11-tetradecenal were the most stimulating compounds tested. In field tests, only three components (Z)-11-tetradecenal, (E)-11-tetradecenal and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, in the microgram ratio of 65:35:10, were necessary for optimum attraction. Another tortricid moth, Archips griseus, was attracted to some of the aldehyde mixtures.

Abstract Evidence obtained by glass capillary gas chromatography coupled to an electroantennographic detector or a mass spectrometer confirmed that Z-11-hexadecenyl acetate is the major component in the pheromone gland washes of calling Mamestra brassicae female moths. Three other components were identified, tetradecanyl acetate, hexadecanyl acetate and E-11-hexadecenyl acetate; but none of these had obvious synergistic effects in attracting males in field tests. The attraction of males to Z -11-hexadecenyl acetate was inhibited by 0.1% Z -11-hexadecenol or 1% Z-9- tetradecenyl acetate.

By means of thin-layer chromatography (TLC), electroantennogram (EAG), gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and field tests, (Z)-3-tetradecenyl acetate(Z3-14:Ac), (E)-3-tetradecen-1-ol(E3-14:OH), and (Z)-3-tetradecen-1-ol(Z3- 14:OH) at a ratio of 51:39:10 were identified from the female sex pheromone gland extracts of the carpenterworm, Holcocerus insularis Staudinger (Lepidoptera, Cossidae). The average amounts of Z3-14:Ac, E3-14:OH and Z3-14:OH in a single sex pheromone gland of calling moth were 7.29±2.72 ng, 5.72±2.43 ng and 1.44±0.56 ng, respectively. This is the first time that Z3-14:Ac was identified as a component of lepidopteran sex pheromone. Traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with Z3-14:Ac (500 μg / septum) were more effective than the traps baited with virgin female. The addition of the E3-14:OH and Z3-14:OH to rubber septa baited with Z3-14:Ac did not modify H. insularius male attraction, but E3-14:Ac slightly enhanced trap catch.

Rendang is a traditional-specific food in Indonesia. Rendang is generally made with beef, coconut milk, and spices. There are two types of rendang according to its time processing. Rendang “kalio” is a final product of rendang that needs a short heating period while dried rendang is produced by the longer heating period. In the present study, the profile of the volatile compounds that most obtained from spices was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize the influence of the cooking period on the flavor characteristic of two available types of rendang. There were dozens of volatile compounds identified including carboxylic, aromatic, carbonyl, and alcohols where carboxylic and aromatics were the predominant volatile fractions. The results indicated that the cooking period affected the profile of volatile compounds between "kalio" rendang and dried rendang. Carboxylic and aromatics were less in the dried rendang compared to the rendang “kalio” where others were opposites. The increase of carbonyls and alcohol during the cooking process has suggested can play a crucial role in the flavor of dried rendang.
