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 commonly appears as a continuous lipophilic layer located at the outer
epidermal cell walls of land plants. Cutin and waxes are its main components. Two methods …

The design and development of greener processes that are safe and friendly is an
irreversible trend that is driven by sustainable and economic issues. The use of Biocatalysis …

Bioplastics were prepared from the fatty fraction (ie, unsaturated and polyhydroxylated fatty
acids) of tomato pomace agro-wastes. Aliphatic polyesters were synthesized at different …

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 …

The present work describes the synthesis of poly (butylene succinate)(PBSu)-cutin
copolymers by the two-stage melt polycondensation method, esterification and …

This chapter deals with the use of plant cuticle‐like and cutin‐inspired polymer materials as
sustainable, biodegradable, and functional food packaging. The main characteristics of …

Fatty polyhydroxyesters (C≥ 16) are present in nature as barrier polymers like cutin in some
protective tissues of higher plants. The mimicry of these biopolymers is regarded as a …

10, 16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, main monomer of the tomato cuticle obtained from
agroresidual wastes, was polymerized using ionic liquid (choline chloride· 2ZnCl2) as …
