Lipids secreted from the Dufour's glands of the bees Anthophora centriformis, Anthophora californica tarsata, Emphoropsis miserabilis, Megachile (Delomegachile) gemula, M. (Phaenosarus) fortis, M. (Argyropile) parallela, and M. (Melanosarus) xylocopoides primarily consist of short chain (C2-C20) fatty acid triglycerides. Nearly 95% of the triglycerides from Anthophora and Emphoropsis have one palmitoyl-, stearoyl- or arachidoyl moiety, plus two shorter acids (C2-C16). Virtually all triglycerides (98%) from the four Megachile species possess only short-chain fatty acids (C2-C16), often with one like pair of acids.
来自中心花蜂、加州花蜂跗节亚种、可怜拟蜜蜂、宝石切叶蜂、强壮切叶蜂、平行切叶蜂和木蜂切叶蜂杜氏腺分泌的脂质主要由短链（C2 - C20）脂肪酸甘油三酯组成。花蜂属和拟蜜蜂属甘油三酯中近95%含有一个棕榈酰基、硬脂酰基或花生酰基部分，外加两个较短的酸（C2 - C16）。四种切叶蜂属物种的几乎所有甘油三酯（98%）仅含有短链脂肪酸（C2 - C16），通常有一对相同的酸。
