Abstract
The composition of Malus pumila Mill. [cv. Yellow Delicious] cutin from cuticles isolated using ZnCl2-HCl reagent was compared to that isolated by an oxalate-enzymic method. Molecular changes were observed and included the loss of unsaturated components and hydroxyl groups. Such changes may alter the results of physiochemical investigations of cuticles.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
