In this study, cocoons and degummed silk samples of Bombyx mori and twenty Saturniidae species of the genera Actias, Attacus, Argema, Antheraea, Caligula, Callosamia, Cricula, Epiphora, Hyalophora, Loepa, Samia and Saturnia are studied to gain an insight into their morphology, chemical composition and physical structure. For this purpose, silk samples are characterized by optical microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy in attenuated total reflection mode (ATR-FTIR spectroscopy). Furthermore, degummed silk samples are analyzed for their amino acid (AA) composition by GC-FID.

- Plant resins can be classified into different types (diterpenoid, triterpenoid, or phenolic) based on their specific chemical compounds, which vary by species.
- The study aimed to create an efficient and cost-effective way to identify specific triterpenoid and phenolic compounds in plant resins using advanced techniques like (HP)TLC combined with mass spectrometry.
- The developed method successfully analyzed various resin samples, achieving low detection limits and showing potential for distinguishing botanical origins of resins and resin-based varnishes.
