Abstract
Abstract The surface waxes from the leaves and fruits of walnut (Juglans regia) exhibited a similar chemical composition with primary alcohols (41.6 and 35.7%) as the major lipid class. The other homologous series present in these waxes were hydrocarbons (3.0 and 15.6%), esters (3.5 and 3.4%), aldehydes (5.5 and 10.0%) and fatty acids (8.4 and 4.7%) in smaller amounts. In addition to these common wax lipids, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) was identified in the leaf (29.8%) and fruit (28.6%) waxes.
