| Abstract:
|
Lac resin is a mixture of cross-linked polyesters of closely related straight chain or cyclic aliphatic polyhydroxy acids and sesquiterpenic acids. The major contribution to the polyester framework of resin comes from aleuritic acid, i.e., 9, 10, 16-trihydroxy-hexadecanoic acid. A novel derivatization reversed phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method with UV detection was developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of aleuritic acid. Derivatization was carried out using p- bromo- phenacyl bromide and crown ether to yield chromophoric ester and this process was optimized for maximum ester yield. The method for isolation of hard resin from sticklac obtained from insect Kerria lacca kerr has been optimized and aleuritic acid content in each sample of hard resin obtained from sticklac samples of different strains of the insect, was estimated.
