ʻO ke kumuwaiwai e hāʻawi i ka momona i kona ʻono a me ka ʻala i hiki ke hāʻawi i nā mea kolo i ka puki

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 11, 2013 - ʻO ka ʻono citrus a me ka ʻala o ka hua waina - i hoʻohana mua ʻia i nā wai huaʻai, nā mea inu ʻala citrus, a me nā mea ʻala hanohano a me nā colognes - ke hele nei paha i kahi hoʻohana hou i ka hakakā ʻana i nā makika, ticks, nā ʻuʻu poʻo a me nā moena. mahalo i kahi ala ʻuʻuku o ka hana ʻana i ka nui o ka mea laʻa a me ke kumu kūʻai, wahi a kahi ʻepekema i kēia lā.

ʻO kahi hōʻike e pili ana i ka ʻenehana hou no ka hana ʻana i ka mea hoʻohui, nootkatone, ka mea i ʻohi mua ʻia mai nā tona o ka hua waina, he ʻāpana ia o ka 246th National Meeting & Exposition o ka American Chemical Society (ACS), ka hui ʻepekema nui loa o ka honua. ʻO ka hālāwai, kahi kokoke i 7,000 mau hōʻike e pili ana i nā holomua hou o ka ʻepekema a me nā kumuhana ʻē aʻe, e hoʻomau ʻia ma ʻaneʻi a hiki i ka lā ʻapōpō.

"ʻO kahi huahana hou e pili ana i ka nootkatone e loaʻa i nā mea maikaʻi he nui ma mua o nā namu repellants e kū nei ma muli o DEET," wahi a Richard Burlingame, Ph.D., nāna i hōʻike i ka hōʻike.

"ʻO ka Nootkatone kahi mea hoʻohana ākea ākea i hōʻike ʻia he mea hoʻomalu no nā makika, ʻoki a me nā moena moe. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Nootkatone no nā makahiki e hāʻawi i nā mea inu i kahi ʻono hua waina. He palekana ka ʻai ʻana, he ʻono citrus ʻoluʻolu, ʻaʻole momona, pale a pepehi i nā pepeke, a ʻaʻole pono e loaʻa nā mea ʻawaʻawa i loaʻa no DEET.

ʻO Burlingame, ʻo ia pū me Allylix, Inc., kahi hui hou-kemika ma Lexington, Ky., i kamaʻilio ma kahi symposium i kapa ʻia ʻo "Biopsticides: State of the Art and Future Opportunities." Loaʻa iā ia nā hōʻikeʻike (nā mea kikoʻī ma lalo) e pili ana i ka holomua o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pesticides hou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai nā kumu kūlohelohe, a i ʻole i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ma muli o nā huahana kūlohelohe i kūpono i ka pale ʻana i nā pest.

"ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka symposium ke kūkākūkā i ka ʻepekema ma hope o kēia mau huahana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nui o ia mau mea i nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a ʻoi aku ka ʻona i nā kānaka ma mua o nā pesticides maʻamau," wahi a James N. Seiber, Ph.D., o ke Kulanui o Kaleponi , Davis. Ua hoʻonohonoho pū ʻo ia i ka symposium me Aaron Gross lāua ʻo Joel Coats, Ph.D., ʻelua o Iowa State University, a me Stephen Duke, Ph.D., o ka US Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Burlingame i ka nootkatone ma ke ʻano he kumu hoʻohālike maikaʻi loa o ka hiki ke hoʻomohala i nā pesticides hou e pili ana i nā kumu kūlohelohe. ʻO ka Nootkatone kahi ʻāpana o ka ʻaila i loko o ka hua waina, a aia ma ka papa inoa o ka US Food and Drug Administration o nā mea i ʻike ʻia he palekana no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka meaʻai. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo ia no nā makahiki ma ke ʻano he mea ʻono no nā meaʻai a me nā mea inu a ma ke ʻano he mea ʻala i nā mea ʻala. Ke koi nei kēlā mau noi i nā helu liʻiliʻi o ka nootkatone, a ʻo ke kumu kūʻai - $25 no ka auneke ke lawe ʻia mai ka hua waina - ʻaʻole ia he mea hopohopo nui. Ua emi iki ke kumu kūʻai ke hana ʻia mai kahi mea i kapa ʻia he valencene, i unuhi ʻia mai nā ʻalani.

Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka pono o kahi kumu waiwai nootkatone ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana o nā ʻepekema ma US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) i ka pono o ka nootkatone i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i nā ticks, namu a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka Nootkatone i unuhi ʻia mai ka hua waina, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi huahana mea kūʻai aku. Pono kēlā hoʻohana i ka nui o ka nootkatone. Ke hana nei ʻo Allylix me nā kānaka ʻepekema ma CDC e hoʻomohala i ka nootkatone no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokele nalo.

Ua wehewehe ʻo Burlingame i ka hoʻohana ʻana o Allylix i ka ʻenehana waiwai e hoʻomohala i kahi ala e hana ai i ka valencene mai ka hū e ulu ana i loko o nā pahu fermentation ʻoihana. ʻOhi nā ʻenehana i ka valencene a hoʻohana i kahi kaʻina hana kemika e hoʻololi iā ia i nootkatone. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Allylix ua hiki i ke kaʻina hana ke kūʻai aku i ka nootkatone ma ke kumukūʻai hoʻokūkū.

"ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hopena o ka nootkatone ma mua o nā mea hoʻopau i kēia manawa ma ka mākeke," wahi āna. "A ʻo ka nootkatone e hōʻike ana i ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki no ka lilo ʻana i mea hoʻohana maikaʻi loa no nā ticks e kumu ai ka maʻi Lyme."

Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Nookatone ma kahi ala hou, no laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e kūʻē i nā iniseti e hoʻomohala ana i ke kūʻē a haʻalele i nā pesticides maʻamau, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopōʻino i nā kānaka a me nā holoholona.

Ke kūʻai aku nei ʻo Allylix i ka nootkatone no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻono a me nā mea ʻala. ʻO ka hana aʻe e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻae mai ka US Environmental Protection Agency e kūʻai aku i ka nootkatone no ka mālama ʻana i nā pepeke. "ʻAʻole lākou i ʻae i kēia manawa, no laila ʻaʻohe huahana i kēia manawa ma ka mākeke ma US e hoʻokomo i ka nootkatone ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoikaika e hoʻomalu i nā pests," wahi a Burlingame. "Akā i ka wā e hiki mai ana, hiki iā ia ke lilo i mea koʻikoʻi i nā repellents no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lole a i ʻole ma ka ʻili e like me ka ʻōpala, a i ʻole he kopa a shampoo paha."

Ua ʻae ka poʻe ʻepekema i ke kālā mai ka National Science Foundation ma o ka papahana SBIR a me ka 'Oihana o Energy.

Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia noiʻi ma kahi hālāwai o ka American Chemical Society!
