Exposure under vacuum reduces exposure times for complete kill of the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica at about 20°C from several weeks to a few days (Jay, 1986 Locatelli and Daolio, 1993), while exposure at raised pressures of 10 and 15 bar achieved complete kill of all stages of the granary weevil Sitophilus granarius (L.) within 16h and 8 h respectively at this temperature (Le Torc h and Fleurat Lessard, 1991). At 20bar and 20°C, control of a variety of stored-product...

Khoury et al., 1996 Locatelli et al., 1993, 2000). Pest infestation of dried fish leads to higher levels of uric acid and bacterial counts that are unacceptable to consumers and traders (Solanki, 1985). Toxicological studies revealed that excess levels of uric acid in the diet could induce hyperuricemia with associated nephropathy in rats (Starvic et al., 1969). Secretions from the adults of Tribolium spp. and Rhyzopertha dominica impart unacceptable off-odors to foodstuffs. Processing and end-use qualities of food commodities are also affected by insect infestation, as are cash value and marketability of different commodities.

R. officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) can be found in the Mediterranean area. The used parts are the fresh owering tops. The essential oil can be used as antipest due to its effect on beetles, caterpillar larvae, and many other insects (Dayan et ah, 2009) like Drosophila auraria (Konstantopoulou et ah, 1992), Sitophilus oryzae (Lee et ah, 2004), or Rhyzopertha dominica (Shaaya et ah, 1991). The microencapsulated essential oil also showed larvicidal effects on Lymantria dispar (Moretti et ah, 2002). In Acanthoscelides obtectus males and females, R. officinalis volatile oil also caused high mortality rates (Papachristos and Stamopoulos, 2002). Repellent activity was reported against Listronotus oregonensis (Niepel, 2000).
