Food Protective Effects of 3-Methylbenzaldehyde Derived from Myosotis arvensis and Its Analogues against Tyrophagus putrescentiae.

ABSTRACT: The potential abilities of 3-methylbenzaldehyde derived from Myosotis arvensis oil and its structural analogues to act as new acaricide and mite kit (mite color deformation) against Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) were evaluated in the present study. Based on the LD₅₀ values, 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde (0.78 μg/cm³) had highest vapor action against T. putrescentiae, followed by 2,4-methylbenzaldehyde (1.14 μg/cm³), 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde (1.29 μg/cm³), 2-methylbenzaldehyde (1.32 μg/cm³), 2,3-dimethylbenzaldehyde (1.55 μg/cm³), 3-methylbenzaldehyde (1.97 μg/cm³), and 4-methylbenzaldehyde (2.34 μg/cm³). The color deformation of seven methylbenzaldehyde analogues mixed with 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde
