This can inhibit the respiratory chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and break the chain between the respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation so that flavonoids can work as respiratory inhibitors in mosquitoes.17 Saponins can reduce the surface tension of the mucous membrane of the larvae’s digestive tract so that the larvae’s walls become cor- rosive and eventually damaged.27 Triterpenoids as stomach poi- sons.28 Tannin compounds can bind to protease enzymes by bind- ing to enzymes by tannins, so the work of these enzymes will be hampered so that cell metabolic processes can be disrupted, and the larvae will lack nutrition.27 This finding can be used in developing an abate product from red dragon fruit peel extract, which is environmentally friendly and has almost the same effectiveness as temefos abate.	cache/hls-11772.pdf	txt/hls-11772.txt
