“…2, 3 and 6 were attributed to mixtures of long chain esters [1] with carbon numbers of C 28, , C 30 and C 36 , respectively. In contrast to our results, cetyl palmitate was found as a predominant compound in some spermaceti samples [5,17].…”

“…The hydrocarbons with an even carbon number were minor compounds in white and yellow beeswaxes, with the concentrations being higher in the last ones, too; the contents of these hydrocarbons in the problematic foundation beeswaxes were notably higher in relation to the pure ones.

“…The palmitate mean concentrations -except for C [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] -were higher in yellow beeswaxes than in white ones. In general terms, the concentrations of the palmitates in pure beeswax decreased in the following order: C [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] .

The concentrations of 102 chemical compounds (saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, palmitates, total and free acids, total hydroxyacids, total and free alcohols, acidic monoesters and monoesterified 1,2,3-propanetriols) have been determined by GC/FID on white and yellow comb beeswax of Apis mellifera from different regions of Spain. Guide-value ranges are proposed for its characterization and to discriminate adulterated foundation beeswax sheets. The concentrations of many compounds resulted to be statistically different for white and yellow beeswaxes, while the observation of concentrations out of normal in some marketed foundation beeswax sheets suggested their adulteration. However, the measurement of anomalous concentrations in foundation beeswax sheets did not imply necessarily their rejection by the bees.

Natural waxes have been used by mankind since prehistoric times. Many uses of wax are based on the imitation of its natural functions. Waxes in nature primarily serve to provide protective barriers on the surfaces of living organisms. Their functions are also determined by wax characteristics such as adhesion and cohesion, as well as slip and deformation effects. In ancient times, for example, wax seals were used to help preserve food and beverages. Beeswax has remained an important material for manufacturing candles up to the present day. Recent vegetable waxes have been used in industry since the mid‐nineteenth century, for example in care products. Refined and chemically processed montan‐based waxes are quite similar to naturally occurring vegetable ester waxes in their structure and application characteristics. They are similar in their environmental characteristics and are also nontoxic. Crude montan wax itself belongs to the naturally occurring waxes of vegetable origin such as candelilla wax and carnauba wax.
