Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the role of dopamine chemistry in the formation of mechanically strong mandibles of grasshoppers. The investigations revealed that the mandibles of grasshoppers utilized unprotected dopamine for tanning. This was identified using high performance liquid chromatography connected with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) of the acid hydrolyzed grasshopper mandibles. It was also found that the mandibles consisted of purely organic compounds.
