Sorbic acid containing triglycerides in aphids and their fractionation by high pressure liquid chromatography

Abstract

The sorbic acid containing triglycerides found in various aphid species have been fractionated by high pressure liquid chromatography. Mass spectral analysis afforded identification of three isolates as 2-trans, trans-sorbo-1, 3 dimyristin; 2-trans, trans-sorbo-1,3 myristopalmitin; and 2-trans, trans-sorbo-1,3 dipalmitin. No evidence of asymmetry was found by circular dichroism. The composition and proportions of these triglycerides was found to be species variable.
