Lignocerate

Rice-Bran Wax. Rice-bran wax [8016-60-2] is extracted from cmde rice-bran oil. It can be degummed, the fatty acid content reduced by solvent extraction, and bleached. The wax is primarily composed of esters of lignoceric acid (43 wt %), behenic acid (16 wt %), and 22 02 alcohols (28 wt %). Rice-bran wax may be used in some food apphcations under the regulations described in 21 CFR 172.890.

The most frequently described components of coffee wax are the N0-alkanoyl-5-hydroxytryptamides (Figure 16). The range of concentration found on sampling 14 varieties was 401 to 1,099 ppm of the total coffee bean.139 The relative concentrations of three of the four major 5-hydroxytryptamides are 22.5 to 39.9% with arachic, 49 to 68.9% with behenic, and 7.7 to 12% with lignoceric acids.139 The fourth major acid involved is stearic.137 The predominance of Np-behenoyl-5-...

Benzene solutions of lignoceric (CH3(CH2)->2COOH) and stearic (CH3(CH2)i6COOH) acids with concentrations of 1 X 10 3 and 3 x 10-3 mol-L1, respectively, were spread on the pure water surface atTsp of 293 K. Since Tsp is below Tm of the lignoceric acid (Tm - 347 K) and the stearic acid (Tm =317 K) monolayers [31] those monolayers are in a crystalline state. The subphase water was purified with the Milli-QII system. The lignoceric acid monolayer was prepared at a surface pressure of 5 mN-m 1 by a continuous compression at a rate of 1.7 X 10 3 nm--molecule 1 s 1. The stearic acid monolayer was prepared at 23 mN-m-1 by the continuous compression method or the multi-step creep method [39]. The multi-step creep method is a monolayer preparation method for which the monolayer is stepwisely compressed up to a...

In addition to their mandibles, which are used to bite, pierce, shear, and cut intruders, soldiers of Coptotermes formosanus, a Formosan subterranean termite, are also armed with chemical weaponry. When disturbed, the soldiers secrete a gluelike white fluid from the frontal gland, which often form a drop between the open mandibles. Lignoceric and hexacosanoic acids were the two major components identified in this secretion [183].
