No 352067, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: This list of 292 references was prepared to aid research workers contemplating further work on use of wax, wax emulsions, or related coatings for horticultural products. Horticultural crops may be waxed for a variety of reasons, but most commonly they are waxed to retard evaporation and transpiration losses from tissues that lead to wilting, shriveling, and general shrinkage. The waxing process is recommended only where research has shown benefits, on such as reduced shriveling or improved appearance. Waxing is recommended only good quality products; it does not improve the quality of inferior products.
