 | | The carrier gas was helium, and the initial column temperature was between 150 and 200 °C and was programmed to increase to 320°C at 3 or 4°/min and held at 320°C. The system was operated and data collected with a Hewlett-Packard 5970C computer. |
 | | The system was calibrated, and the quality of the chromatogram monitored, with a standard mixture consisting of: methyl heptadecanoate, methyl icosanoate, 3-methyltricosane, tricosanyl acetate, octacosane, tetracontane, and tricosanyl heptadecanoate, run at six concentrations. |
 | | The mass spectral data for the wax esters were analyzed by single-ion extraction of the data (Nelson et al., 2000). |
