Sugarcane bagasse was collected from different sources(from local juice centre, Egyptian Sugar & Integrated Industries Company, The residue of the sugar production and by scratching of sugarcane). The waxes were extracted using different solvents (water, ethanol, n-hexane, toluene and methylene chloride). The waxes obtained from each solvent containing different components. The extracted waxes were crystallized and then carrying out different analyses for each fraction of them (FT-IR, H NMR and GC-MS spectra), depending on the analyses we determined the wax components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
