Abstract: | "Air which had been drawn over virgin female Choristoneura fumiferana was passed through 'Porapak Q', in this way an extract containing all the volatile compounds emitted by the insect may be obtained. (E)-11-tetradecenal but not (E)-11-tetradecen-1-ol was identified among the components of the extract. The latter compound, an inhibitor of the aldehyde, has previously been shown to be present in the secretory gland of the insect" |
