Abstract

AbstractWax coating the leaves and stems ofPortulaca oleracea consists of hydrocarbons (21%), esters (53%), acids (2%), alcohols (4%), diol monoesters (2%), and unidentified material (15%). Lesser amounts of esterified and free β‐amyrin and lupeol, stigmast‐4‐en‐3‐one and free diols also are present. The principal component of the hydrocarbons is C33. The C40‐C56 esters are C22‐C28 alcohol esters of C20‐C26 acids; free alcohols are C22‐C30; free acids are C16‐C36; diols of diol monoesters and free diols are C20‐C26.
