Abstract
Epicuticular wax of Eragrostis curvula contains hydrocarbons (6%), esters (13%), acids (3%), alkanols (4%), tritriacontane-12,14-dione (47%), 5(S)-5-hydroxytritriacontane-12,14-dione (14%) as major components. The esters consist of triterpenol esters (42%) as well as alkanol esters. The free alkanols consist principally Of C₁₆C₃₂ components, resembling those of waxes from panicoid, and some other eragrostoid, grasses. Minor components are triterpenols (0.7%), triterpenones (0.5%), triacylglycerols (0.3%), secondary alkanols (0.1%) and 5-oxotritriacontane-12,14-dione (0.1%).
