The characteristics of individual fractions of beeswax and their binary combinations, reflecting the potential for the formation of structural forming properties in food oleogels, have been studied. Increasing the efficiency of beeswax usage in oleogels can be achieved by biotechnological means to increase the content of free fatty acids and alcohols in its composition.

Developmental changes in total cuticle and cuticular constituents were studied with `Delicious' fruit. Total wax (0.31 mg/cm2) and total cutin (0.54 mg/cm2, including carbohydrate polymers) were low in young fruit. They increased during fruit growth and reached 1.41 and 2.47 mg/cm2 of fruit peel at harvest, respectively. During fruit ripening at 20 °C, total cutin did not change, but total wax increased rapidly and reached 2.15 mg•cm-2 at 6 weeks. The increase of cuticular wax paralleled the increase of internal ethylene in fruit. Wax was separated by column chromatograph into four portions, hydrocarbons and wax esters, free alcohols, free fatty acids, and diols. More than half of the diols was ursolic acid. During fruit development, more hydrocarbons and diols accumulated in cuticle than free fatty acids and alcohols. During fruit ripening, all of the four portions increased, coincident with the climacteric rise in ethylene, but the increase rates of free fatty acids and alcohols were higher than those of other portions. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG, 220 mg•L-1) preharvest treatment inhibited internal ethylene synthesis to below 0.5 μL•L-1 during 6 weeks at 20 °C, and also inhibited wax accumulation. Ethephon (200 mg/L) preharvest treatment increased ethylene production and accelerated wax accumulation. α-farnesene accumulation coincided with increased internal ethylene and paralleled free fatty acid and alcohol accumulation.

The cuticular lipids of 4 species (Aeschna grandis, A. mixta, Sympetrum sanguineum, S. danae) of the insect order Odonata (dragonflies) have been analysed. Alkanes, triglycerides, and free fatty acids predominate and minor amounts of monoester waxes have been detected. Among the hy­drocarbons unbranched odd-numbered (56 - 66%) predominate, followed by monometnyl-alkanes with the branch in the middle of molecule (11 - 19%), 3-methylalkanes (7 - 15%), and 2-me­thyl-alkanes (1 - 13%). Moreover, alkanes (1 - 12%) were detected. The composition of triglyceri­des and free fatty acids were very similar with 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 18 : 0, 16 : 1. 18 : 1 and 18 : 2 being main constituents. Ester waxes were composed of unbranched and predominantly even-numbered fatty acids and alcohols with chain lengths C14- C30. The results are discussed from a chemotaxonomic viewpoint. Similarities of the integumental lipjids from Odonata and Plecoptera were found.

ABSTRACT In addition to the previously described permeability disturbance in the blood aqueous barrier of the eye, measured as an increase of the aqueous flare, a series of transitory systemic effects have been recorded following the subcutaneous injection of synthetic α-MSH: marked increase of the free fatty acids in plasma, decrease in the serum calcium level, decrease in the blood pressure, increase in the skin temperature, increased frequency and diminished amplitude of respiration, presence of slow waves in the EEG. There is a correlation between the magnitude of the aqueous flare increase and the increase of free fatty acids in plasma and also between the aqueous flare and the minimum serum calcium level.
