Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the role of agriculture and fishing in the European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and show that agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of Hydrocarbons in the Recognition Systems of Insects
TL;DR: Recognition bioassays have confirmed that certain components of the cuticle of some insect species are sex attractants as well as aphrodisiacs or sex inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beeswax: A minireview of its antimicrobial activity and its application in medicine.
TL;DR: This minireview aims to be a collection of major scientific works that have considered the antimicrobial activity of beeswax alone or in combination with other natural products in recent years.
Quality and Standards of Pollen and Beeswax
TL;DR: A production method, that ensures good pollen quality is described, as well as the main quality criteria, that can be included in a future standard, that is proposed for pollen quality.

The Galleria mellonella Hologenome Supports Microbiota-Independent Metabolism of Long-Chain Hydrocarbon Beeswax
Hyun Gi Kong,Hyunho Kim,Joon-hui Chung,JeHoon Jun,Soo Hyun Lee,Hak-Min Kim,Sungwon Jeon,Seung Gu Park,Jong Bhak,Choong-Min Ryu +9 more
TL;DR: High-quality genome and transcriptome data from G. mellonella are assembled to investigate long-chain hydrocarbon wax metabolism strategies and provide insight into wax moth adaptation and may assist in the development of unique wax-degradation strategies.

Quantitative separations of higher fatty acid methyl esters by adsorption chromatography on silica impregnated with silver nitrate
TL;DR: A chromatographic adsorbent for the separation of geometric isomers of fatty acid methyl esters was developed in this article, which consists of silicic acid impregnated with silver nitrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The composition of beeswax and other waxes secreted by insects
TL;DR: The bumble bee wax contains major proportions of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, and of long chain saturated, mono- and diunsaturated esters, and the relationship between structure and function of the waxes is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beeswax: Structure of the esters and their component hydroxy acids and diols
TL;DR: In this article, the compositions of the acids, hydroxy acids, alcohols, and diols from each ester fraction have been determined by gas liquid chromatography, and the major hydroxy acid (70%) obtained on hydrolysis was 15-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The composition of Eucalyptus and some other leaf waxes
TL;DR: The most commonly occurring β-diketone is n-tritriacontan-16,18-dione, but in two species, Eucalyptus risdoni and E. coccifera, β-Diketones of shorter chain length predominate as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canadian beeswax: Analytical values and composition of hydrocarbons, free acids and long chain esters
TL;DR: Physical and chemical properties of 80 samples of Canadian yellow unrefined beeswax have been determined as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed that the results were very similar to those of U.S. beewax and were within the specifications of National Formulary XIII.
