Extraction and analysis of plant alkanes and long‐chain alcohols using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE)
Abstract We explored a one‐step method of extracting plant cuticular hydrocarbons for the analysis of diet composition, intake, and passage rate of herbivores. Alkanes (waxes produced by plants) and long‐chain alcohols (LCOHs) have traditionally been extracted via a sequence of saponification and es...
