Methods for Removal of Rotenone from Brebra (Millettia ferruginea) Seed, Oil and Defatted Flour under Different Treatment Conditions
Abstract: The main objective was to develop and determine the rotenone removal methods from different samples of defatted flour and refined oil. To remove rotenone, ethanol, pH gradient treatment, cooking and roasting were used and rotenone was determined by HPLC analysis. Most of the rotenone (0.701%) from non-defatted flour is lost during defatting (0.37%) and refinery process of oil (0.02%). From raw seed, 84.1, 85.1 and 97.3% rotenone was removed by …

Insecticidal Activity of Rotenone in Brebra (Millettia Ferruginea) Oil Refinery Residue against Different Stored Crop Insect Pests and its Prospect to Apply as Pest Control Substance
Abstract: Use of botanical insecticides against stored crop insect pests is environmental safer and eco-friend alternative method for crop protection. The objective was to investigate insecticidal potential of oil refinery residue with rotenone against selected insect pest of stored crops. The amount of rotenone from samples was determined by HPLC. The toxicity of the rotenone from residual extract and non-defatted sample were tested against. Acanthoscelides obtectus, Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum …
