Nervogenic acid has antioxidative, pro-coagulant, and antibacterial activities, it exhibits higher activity than that of t-butyl-4- hydroxyanisole (BHA) using the ferric thiocyanate method.
Vitedoin A shows stronger antioxidative activity than alpha-tocopherol using the ferric thiocyanate method, it also shows higher radical-scavenging effect on the stable free radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, than L-cysteine.
Z3-Dodecenyl E2-butenoate, a female sex pheromone of the sweet potato weevil (C. formicarius), is utilized for baiting and trapping male sweet potato weevils. This method aids in managing their populations in agricultural fields while minimizing insecticide use.
