Abstract

Aqueous emulsions containing 10, 15 and 20% of candelilla wax (CW) were used for coating limes. The best preservation was got with 15% CW. Fruits treated with emulsions of different pH—6.50, 9.20 and 9.80—showed no reduction in the weight loss. The coatings of deresinised CW presented a non‐beneficial effect.

Limes coated with commercial wax lost slightly less weight than those with 15% CW. In all cases, citrus fruits were stored at room temperature. Changes of pH, acidity and ascorbic acid during storage were very similar with commercial or CW emulsions.

While using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the impact of ovipositing butterflies on the leaf surface, it became clear to us that the complex topography of natural leaf surfaces, including the crystalline structure of surface waxes (as shown in Hallam & Juniper, 1971), makes it dif
