“…The concentration of sucrose, resistance to pests, and water stress are some varying factors of the local climate, soil type, and chemical, physical, and morphological attributes. 19 Generally, epicuticular wax compounds [that can be free fatty acids (FFAs), primary alcohols, alkanes, and aldehydes] increase in plants in response to abiotic stress (e.g., deficient or excessive water). 20 This study aimed to evaluate the optimal filter cake wax isolation conditions, using boiling methods to contribute to the valorization of this waste stream.…”
