Solvent‐recovered wool wax has been fractionated into several classes of ester by thin‐layer chromatography. Gas‐liquid chromatographic analyses of the methyl esters of the acidic components of fractions, containing only one alcoholic component, has enabled 24 esters of lanostenol and 21 esters of cholesterol to be identified.
