Abstract

SummaryThe proportion of normal acids among the acids of carnauba wax has been found, by a chromatographic separation method, to be 38%. The normal acid mixture has been separated into its components by amplified distillation of the methyl esters, which revealed the presence of the acids of even carbon number from C18 to C30. The acids were identified by their melting points, long crystal spacings, and crystal habit. An estimate of their relative amounts is as follows: C18, 3%; C20, 11.5%; C22, 9%; C24, 30%; C26, 12%; C28, 16.5%; C30, 7%.
