- Abstract
Natural vegetable waxes in general and the epicuticular in particular, present on the surface of many horticultural products (fruits, vegetables), confer upon them two distinct competences: controlled permeability for water transfer, and respectively for gas transfer in the respiratory process, which significantly affects their window-shop quality. The knowledge and recognition of these qualities has stimulated the study of food product-environment interphase mass transfer mechanisms, along with the diversification of the range of biocompatible synthetic epicuticular waxes that would allow the post-harvest application of protective films. This paper aims to present the possibility of diversification, preparation and basic physico-chemical characterization of the sodium salt of maleic [MEM-ST (n=8)(H)(Na)] and sulfosuccinic monoester [MESS-ST (n=8)(H)(Na)] respectively with heterogeneously polyethoxylated (n=8) stearin, obtained by an adapted classical reaction scheme.
