Kandungan senyawa capsaicin dalam cabai (Capsicum Annuum L) sebagai anti hama pada sayuran: Kajian pustaka

Vegetables are one of the most widely cultivated crops because of their important role in fulfilling food nutrition. In the implementation of vegetable cultivation, there will be obstacles such as pest and disease attacks. Chili plants can be used as vegetable pesticides because they have capsaicin compounds that can have a negative effect on pests. This literature review aims to discuss capsaicin compounds as anti-pests in vegetables, namely by causing the death of vegetable pests in several studies. The method used was a literature study. The results in the four articles reviewed show that the capsaicin compound in chili peppers can be used as a vegetable pesticide because it can affect digestion, inhibit growth and nerve work in pests which ultimately causes the death of these pests. The higher the concentration of chili extract, the higher the percentage of pest mortality. This vegetable pesticide from red chili extract can be used as an alternative to chemical pesticides.

蔬菜是种植范围最广的作物品类之一，因其在保障膳食营养供给方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在蔬菜种植实践中，常会遭遇病虫草害侵袭等生产阻碍。辣椒植株可作为蔬菜专用农药的原料，因其含有辣椒素（capsaicin）类化合物，该类物质对害虫具有灭杀活性。本文献综述旨在探讨辣椒素类化合物作为蔬菜害虫防治剂的应用价值，现有多项研究均证实其可通过致死蔬菜害虫实现防控效果。本研究采用文献研究法，对纳入综述的4篇文献进行分析后结果显示：辣椒中的辣椒素类化合物可作为蔬菜专用农药，其作用机制为干扰害虫消化系统、抑制其生长发育与神经活动，最终导致害虫死亡；且辣椒提取物的浓度越高，害虫的致死率便越高。该由红辣椒提取物制备而成的植物源农药，可作为化学农药的安全替代方案。
