We study the composition and biophysical properties of wax esters extracted from the Antarctic copepod, Calanoides acutus, to explore if these factors adjust buoyancy in diapausing copepods. Levels of ...

This study discusses the interpretation of the electron ionization mass spectra of straight-chain and methyl-branched saturated and unsaturated wax esters based on the spectra of 154 standards.

This natural wax contains over 50 compounds, primarily including esters — organic compounds derived from acids and alcohols that give fruits their characteristic smells. This wax acts as nature ...
