Solubility
Insoluble in water, except some short-chain

Saponification rxn
The more unsaturated bonds the fat has, the easier to occur the oxin reaction the
fat is.

Natural wax: 50% ester, 50% high molecular alcohol, high molecular fatty acid,
color, odor
Lanolin: Sheep hair wax, keep the fur and skin waterproof
Ester between multi-cyclic alcohol and high order branching
(lanopalmitic, lanostearic) fatty acid
Role: protect fruit, leave, stem, branch without the effect of microorganism and
environment (water loss)
❑ Cutin: protect the plant epidermis (wax cuticle), complex polymer; high MW,
dissolve in alkaline
❑ Mineral wax: extract from coal lignite or mud coal by organic solvent;
component: montanilic acid and ester; Tmelting = 72-77oC
