| Abstract: | The lipid solvent extractable material from the cuticle of Anabrus simplex Hald. (Mormon cricket) has been examined in an effort to elucidate its chemical composition. Hydrocarbons, free fatty acids, esters, free cholesterol, and acidic resins are present in measurable amounts. Infra-red spectrophotometry, column chromatography, and gas chromatography have been utilized for the separation and characterization of these various components. |
