Composition of the surface lipids of pea leaves (Pisum sativum)

  • Published:
Lipids

Abstract

Surface lipid of pea leaves (Pisum sativum var. Frosty) was analyzed with column, thin layer and gas liquid chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. It contained 42%n-hentriacontane and 7.3%n-hentriacontan-16-ol. About 5% was wax esters, C40–C50 consisting of primarily C26 and C28 alcohols and C16–C22 acids. Almost 5% was aldehydes, mainly C26 and C28. Primary alcohols, chiefly C26 and C28, made up 20% of the surface lipid.
