Abstract
To protect themselves, insects cover their bodies with what is called cuticular lipid. The cuticular lipid of an American cockroach has a unique lipid content; the most abundant is a cis-alkadiene, cis,cis-6,9-heptacosadiene, amounting to about 70%, which is followed by a branched alkane 3-methylpentacosane. In order to clarify the structural features of the unique lipid composition below the critical temperature, the cuticular lipid was studied...
