Beeswax
Synonyms:
 Yellow wax, Cera alba.
 White wax obtained is known as
cera flava.
 Obtained from the honey comb of the bees Apis mellifera
and other species of Apis belonging to the family Apidae,
order Hymenptera.
.
 It is produced in France, Italy, West Africa, India.
Biological Source:
Geographical source:
Preparation:
1) The combs and capping of honeycomb are broken and
boiled in soft water.
2) These are then enclosed in a porous bag weighed to
keep under water, the boiling causes oozing of the
wax, which get collected outside the bag and form a
cake after cooling.
3) The debris on outer surface is removed by scraping.
4) The process is repeated several times and finally wax
is skimmed off.
Description:
 Colour : Yellow to yellowish-brown
 Odour : Agreeable and honey-like
 Non crystalline solid.
 Soft to touch and crumbles under pressure of
fingers to plastic mass.
 Under molten condition, it can be given any desired
shape.
 It breaks with a granular fracture.
 Insoluble in water
 Soluble in hot alcohol, ether, chloroform, carbon
tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils.
Extra features:
Solubility:
Standards:
 M.P. : 62 to 65°c
 Specific gravity : 0.958 to 0.967
 Acid value : 5 to 10
 Saponification value : 90 to 103
 Ester value : 80 to 95
 It consists of esters of straight chain monohydric
alcohols with straight chain acids.
 Constituent is myricin i.e. myricyl palmitate 80%, free
cerotic acid 15%, melissic acid and aromatic cerolein.
 Indian bees wax contains low acid value and
European bees wax has acid value of 17-22.
Chemical constituents:
Identification test:
 Saponification cloud test:
0.5g bees wax + 20ml aq. Caustic soda
Boil for 10 minutes
No turbidity is produced.
Uses:
 In preparation of ointments, plasters and polishes.
 Also used in the manufacturing of candles, moulds in
dental and electronic industries, cosmetics for lip-
sticks, face cream.
 Is an ingredient of paraffin ointment.

Japan wax, spermaceti, carnauba wax.
 Adulteration can be detected on the basis of solubility
and melting point.
