The cuticle is one of the most important plant barriers. It is an external and continuous lipid
membrane that covers the surface of epidermal cells and whose main function is to prevent …

Cutin is the main component of plant cuticles constituting the framework that supports the
rest of the cuticle components. This biopolymer is composed of esterified bi-and trifunctional …

The cuticle is an essential and ubiquitous biological polymer composite covering aerial plant
organs, whose structural component is the cutin polyester entangled with cell wall …

A method consisting of the alkaline hydrolysis of tomato pomace by-products has been
optimized to obtain a mixture of unsaturated and polyhydroxylated fatty acids as well as a …

Hydratases provide access to secondary and tertiary alcohols by regio‐and/or
stereospecifically adding water to carbon‐carbon double bonds. Thereby, hydroxy groups …

Abstract Background Solanum lycopersicum Linn.(Tomato, Family Solanaceae) is one of the
fruits that are most consumed worldwide. The current research intends to emphasise the …

The cuticle, a protective cuticular barrier present in almost all primary aerial plant organs,
has a composition that varies between plant species. As a part of the apple peel, cuticle and …

Tomato peels have been proposed as a promising biowaste for producing bio-derived anti-
corrosion polymer coatings potentially more sustainable than traditional petrol-based ones …

Free-standing polyesters films from mono and polyhydroxylated fatty acids (C16 and C18)
have been obtained by non-catalyzed melt-condensation polymerization in air at 150° C …

Grapefruit and lime cutins were analyzed and compared in order to obtain information about
their cutin architecture. This was performed using a sequential hydrolysis, first with …
