Abstract

Cuticular hydrocarbons of antenna, legs and wings from two species of honeybee worker of Apis mellifera L. and Apis cerana F. can be analyzed directly with gas chromatograph and GC/MS without solvent extraction. The saturated hydrocarbons identified in selected part of both species were nC22, nC23, nC25-nC3O, nC32 and nC34 except nC24. Two saturated hydrocarbons, nC26 (23.0-42.6%) and nC28 (16.8-54.8%), were major compounds in both species and others were minor compounds. A. mellifera can be distinguished from A. cerana F. by having higher proportion of nC30, nC32 and nC34 by having lower proportion of nC25 from three selected part of both species.

꿀벌 2종 Apis mellifera L.(서양종)와 Apis cerana F.(동양종)일벌의 안테나, 다리 그리고 날개의 표피 탄화수소를 용매추출을 거치지 않고 직접 GC와 GC/MS를 이용하여 분석 하였다. 동양종과 서양종 일벌의 세 부위에서 nC22, nC23, nC25-nC3O, nC32 그리고 nC34와 같은 포화탄화수소를 검출하였고 nC24의 경우는 어느 종에서도 발견되지 않았다. 전체 포화탄화수소 중 nC26(23.0-42.6%)과 nC28(16.8-54.8%)의 함량비율이 높았고 나머지 포화탄화수소의 함량은 상대적으로 낮은 비율을 나타냈다. 서양종 일벌의 경우, 안테나, 날개 그리고 다리 부위에서 분석한 표피탄화수소 중 nC30, nC32 그리고 nC34가 항상 높은 함량비율로, nC25가 낮은 함량비율로 검출됨으로써 동양종 일벌과 구별할 수 있었다.
