Techniques for Purifying, Analyzing, and Identifying Pheromones

  • Chapter
Techniques in Pheromone Research

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Experimental Entomology ((SSEXP))

Abstract

“The ultimate practical goal of pheromone research on insect pests is to place the communication system on a molecular basis and to use the knowledge to detect, survey, trap, or disrupt the population” (Silverstein, 1982). Achievement of this goal requires the combined efforts of entomologists working in behavior and ecology and analytical and synthetic organic chemists. Analytical chemistry is the indispensable link between field ecology, the observation of pheromone induced behavior, and the development of a bioassay on one hand and field application of the synthesized pheromone on the other. Thus the success of a pheromone project often depends on the proper selection of analytical procedures for isolation and identification of the biologically active compound (s) and for evaluation of the purity and structural congruity of the synthesized pheromone.
