The paper presents the state of knowledge on the chromatographic techniques used in the
analysis of insect lipids. Lipids are one of the forms of protection against entomopathogenic …

The main function of cuticular lipids in insects is the restriction of water transpiration through
the surface. Lipids are involved in various types of chemical communication between …

Novel organic compounds found in the cuticular and internal lipids of medically important
flies were identified. Uracil, 9-tricosene, 1-oleoyl glycerol, dimethyl suberate and butyl …

In view of future expected industrial bio-fractionation of insects, we investigated the influence
of extraction methods on chemical characteristics of insect lipids. Lipids from Tenebrio …

Simple Summary The use of insects as a new source of lipids is a topic of great interest from
both environmental and economic points of view. In addition to use in feed and energy …

Aims This article describes the qualitative and quantitative analyses of untypical compounds
in the cuticular and internal lipids of four dipteran species. For isolated compounds …

Due to the popularization of insect consumption, several studies have been carried out to
elucidate the most diverse questions about nutritional factors, risks related to consumption …

Insect cuticle lipids are involved in various types of chemical communication between
species, and reduce the penetration of insecticides, chemicals, and toxins, as well as …

Western cultures do not use insects for direct human consumption. However, insects can be
sustainably reared to produce nutrients similar to other farmed animals. Lipid biochemical …

The organic compounds occurring naturally on the cuticles (surfaces) of insects are
important for insect communication, help to act as protective water barriers and are useful in …
