Methionol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methionol is a sulfur-containing flavor compound and also a component of aggregation pheromones produced by males. Methionol exists in fermented coconut milk and wine. Methionol has an odor similar to boiled cabbage, and imparts cauliflower-like off-flavors to wine when its content exceeds the perception threshold. Methionol attracts both male and female adults of Knulliana cincta cincta, and mainly attracts female adults of Elaphidion mucronatum.

Biological Activity
Methionol is a highly potent aroma-active compound with a boiled cabbage odour in both aerated and non-aerated coconut cream fermented by Kluyveromyces lactis KL71, exhibiting high Charm values, OSVs, and FDVs consistent with strong odour activity[1].

Result:Captured 15 Knulliana cincta cincta adults in Illinois, with a mean of 1.4 beetles per replicate, significantly higher than captures in traps baited with sulfoxide, methionol + sulfoxide, or solvent control (F3,34=22.3, P<0.0001, Tukey test, P<0.05).
Captured 9 Elaphidion mucronatum adults in Illinois, with 78% in methionol-baited traps, resulting in a mean of 1.8 beetles per replicate, significantly higher than other treatments (F3,15=11.7, P=0.0013).
Captured 123 Knulliana cincta cincta adults in Iowa, with a mean of 14.2 beetles per replicate, significantly higher than captures in traps baited with sulfoxide or solvent control (F3,23=16.6, P=0.0009, Tukey test, P<0.05), while captures in methionol + sulfoxide-baited traps were intermediate.
