Abstract:
Mosquito is a deadliest pest known to man. Prevention of mosquito bites is one of the best intervention methods to reduce disease. Various mosquito repellents are used in day to day lives which are synthetic and continue use of these repellents can cause health hazards and environment hazards. From ancient times various plants are used in form of repellents, fumigants and insecticidal agents. Most of the plants contain phytochemicals which they use as repellent in preventing attacks from various insects. The current paper summarizes research aimed at developing safe and effective herbal insect repellent compositions. In ancient times orange seeds and peel powder were used as insecticide. The dried peels of most citrus fruits have been used in various ways in controlling pest. Orange oil extracted from peels of orange can be used as repellent. It consists majorly Limonene a monoterpene which gives orange oil a peculiar odor and taste which shows repellent properties. Linalool which has perfumery property also shows repellent properties against insects which is widely used as flavoring agent and in production of perfumes. It has been also used in both topical preparations and combustible products as. It can be used instead of synthetic repellent as it has beneficial uses for humans in concern of health and low risk of side effects. Our study aims at investigating the repellent activity of phytochemical extracts (orange oil) from orange peels.
