Introduction
Despite decades of warnings, the inappropriate use of chemical pesticides continues to pose threats to the environment and human health, especially in developing countries.
There have been massive upsurges in pesticide use in recent years (Harris, 1999), increasing use and often misuse has lead to increased problems of insecticide resistance.

IntroductionIn this research, the roots of Derris elliptica which is better known locally as Tuba plant is utilized as a raw material.
It is believed that the tuba plant contains an active ingredient known as Rotenone, which can be used to manufacture bio-pesticides.
Rotenone is a naturally occurring chemical with insecticidal and piscicidal properties extracted from the roots of several plant species belonging to genus Derris spp grown in Malaysia, East Indies and South America or Lonchocarpus spp grown in Central and South America .

IntroductionThis non-polar molecule, acts toxic towards cold-blooded animals but harmless to the man and environment. When exposed to sunlight, it is easily biodegrades to form Carbon Dioxide (CO2) & Water (H2O).
Low concentration in commercial products, degradability, and poor absorption across gut and skin in humans; are factors accounting for the good safety record of rotenone.
Rotenone has been approved by EPA as organic pesticide for organic farming due to low toxicity and low detectable residues in foods (Baker et. al., 2002).

Engineering Questions
What are critical process parameters?
How do we maximise yield?
What are the economically optimal operating conditions?
What are the processing parameters that reduce dissipation of the active ingredient throughout the whole extraction process?
How do we ensure active ingredient is present and in the correct amounts i.e. Standardisation

Objective & ScopesThe main objective of the study is to study the effect of processing parameters and the biological activity of rotenone extracted from Derris elliptica using a batch solid-liquid extraction process.
In order to achieve the objective, four scopes have been identified in this research. The scopes are:
To study the effect of processing parameters on the yield of rotenoids resin. To study the effect of processing parameters on the rotenone content. To study the effect of processing parameters on the biological activity.To study the interactions between the biological activity with the yield of rotenoids resin and the rotenone content.

The eggs of brine shrimp, artemia salinas are readily available in pet shops.
Upon being placed in seawater, the eggs hatch within 48 hours to provide large numbers of larvae (nauplii) for experimental use
Allow 2 days for the shrimp to hatch and mature as naulpii.
Prepare vial for testing; for each fraction, test initially at 1000, 500, 100, 50, 10 g/ml; prepare 2 vials at each concentration for a total 10 vials plus 1 control vial.
Transfer 500 µL to vials corresponding to 1000, 500, 100, 50, 10 g/ml, respectively.
Rotenoids resin concentration is the initial concentration and dilution will be prepared accordingly to the amount of test concentration.
After 2 days (when the shrimp larvae are ready), add about 4 ml of seawater to each vial, count 10 shrimp per vial (50 shrimp/dilution) and adjust the volume with the seawater to 5 ml/vial.
Place the vials, uncovered and under the lamp. Be sure that the lamp does not overheat vials. 24 hours later count and record the number of survivors.

Statistical AnalysisThe design of experiment (DOE) are used to evaluate the effects of several different factors on a response variable.
Statistical tool of (ANOVA) is used to analyze the data from the experiments and to make decisions about whether a given factor has a significant impact on the response variable.
In the optimization phase, the means of statistical analysis involves ANOVA and Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
The RSM is carried out based on the design of the experiments (DOE) generated by the Design Expert software version 6.0 (Stat-Ease Inc., 2000).
Contour plot for response surface and the optimum response can be built and the optimum parameters for each variables can be obtained from the response surface.

Preliminary Experiments Discussion
Longer duration leads to higher yield:
Max at 10 to 12 hours
52 % extracted within 30 min & 90% in 8 hrs
Acetone is the best solvent for obtaining the high rotenone content in fresh raw material as compared to the others two solvents (Chloroform & Ethanol).
Rotenone content in the root is always higher than in the stem.
Rotenone is being bio-accumulated at the root.
The initial high rate of extraction may be due to washing rather than the leaching process, where the bio-active compounds released from within cells by crushing or grinding are extensively quick on dissolving into the bulk solution.
The fine roots tend to be more superior in rotenone content because of the resin cell tissue that contains the rotenoids (Rotenone and its derivatives) are relatively abundant in roots of small and medium diameters (Francis A., 1943).
The best solvent-to-solid ratio for the Acetone extracts is 10 mL/g. In the optimization phase, the solvent-to-solid ratio of 10.0 mL/g & 2.0 mL/g will be used to obtain the optimum condition within the parameter values from the preliminary study and literature cited. Increasing the solvent-to-solid ratio increased the rotenone yield in the extraction. The increase of rotenone yield with the increase of the solvent-to-solid ratio is consistent with the mass transfer principles.
The solvent-to-solid ratio is strongly depends on the extraction conditions, by modifications on the solubility and solute-solvent interactions.

From the ANOVA table simulated by the software, the significant effects of each processing parameters (X,Y) towards the response variables (Z) will be calculated using the F-value and if the effects is significant, the optimum responses can be interpreted, obtained and the conclusion can be made conclusively. The optimum response variables will be summarized including the optimum processing parameters.
MAXIMUM YIELD OF ROTENOIDS RESIN = Q % (w/w)MAXIMUM ROTENONE CONTENT = R % (w/w)
MAXIMUM LETHAL CONCENTRATION (LC50) = J (µg/ml) = %(10 mg/ml = 1%)
The graphs consist of three axes where Z axes represent the response variable while X and Y axes represent three conditions as follows:

Expected Comparison of the Optimum Response Variables
The optimum response variables obtained from the literature, preliminary, optimization and verification experiments will be compared and correlated to each other.
No literature is found for the Brine Shrimp Lethality (LC50) of rotenoids resin due to different method and systems of testing used by each researcher.
The analysis of rotenone content for the preliminary, optimization and verification phase will be used a standard method of analysis based on the method from Ronald L. Baron, (1976) and also from the AOAC Official Method, (1983).

Conclusion
RecommendationThe condition in which the Derris elliptica is collected play vital part in ensuring high rotenone content. It is believed that if the production of rotenone by Derris elliptica can be understood, the optimum derris plant can be cultivated and therefore increasing the overall yield of the extraction.
Rotenone dissipation during concentration process should be taken further noticed and yet there is not conclusive evidence to pronounce that by using the high temperature of operating condition can cause major losses of the toxicological constituents.
To perform an economic optimizations in order to determine an optimal economic process parameters.
The development of other processing techniques which reduced energy consumption, minimize degradation and maximise the yield of rotenone should be studied further.
