Characterization of epicuticular waxes from zingiberaceace family

Characterization of leaves epicuticular wax from six Zingiberaceae genera were carried out to determine the prese nt and amount of aliphatic hydrocarbon. The extraction of epicuticular wax was done using chloroform and analyzed with Gas Chromotography IFlame Ionization Detector and GC/MS The hydroca...
