E912 - Montanic acid esters

Montanic acid esters (E912) are food-grade waxy compounds used to polish and protect the surface of certain foods. They give candies and other items a smooth, glossy finish and help keep pieces from sticking together. In the European Union (EU), they are authorized as a glazing agent under specific rules.

  2. . the condensed structure of the alcohol from which carnauba wax ester is formed is:?

    Commonly myricyl alcohol (1-triacontanol), condensed as CH3(CH2)29OH.

  3. Draw the fatty acid and alcohol obtained when the wax ester below is hydrolyzed?

    Without the specific structure, it can’t be identified; in general, hydrolysis of a wax ester R–COO–R′ yields the corresponding long‑chain fatty acid (R–COOH) and long‑chain fatty alcohol (R′–OH).
