The Phytochemical Analysis of Hay Infusions and Papaya Leaf Juice as an Attractant Containing Insecticide for Aedes Aegypti
Abstract: Aedes aegypti
mosquito population could be controlled by using lethal ovitrap. The addition
of hay infusions as a attractant greatly enhance Aedes aegypti eggs trapped,
and papaya leaf juice may inhibit Aedes aegypti eggs evolve to larvae or a
larvae to pupae stage. This study was conducted to find out the chemical
compounds in hay infusion and papaya leaf juice. We used phytochemical test
using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, Thin Layer Chromatography, and High Performance
Liquid Chromatoraphy (HPLC) method. The results showed that hay infusion
contains 12,75 mg/L ammonium and <1,20 ppm (g/mL) lactic acid and papaya leaf
juice contains 0,25% alkaloid, 0,14% flavonoid, 0,30% saponin, ?68 mg/L steroid
and 11,34% tannin, but negative terpenoid. We concluded that hay infusion and
papaya leaf juice contains chemical compounds that could be use as attractant
and bioinsecticide to Aedes aegypti, respectively.
