Plant Physiology 62:831-832 (1978) © 1978 American Society of Plant Biologists Chemical Changes in Cutin Obtained from Cuticles Isolated by the Zinc Chloride-Hydrochloric Acid Method 1Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401
The composition of Malus pumila Mill. cutin from cuticles isolated using ZnCl2-HCl reagent has been compared to that isolated by an oxalate-enzymic method. Molecular changes were observed and included the loss of unsaturated components and hydroxyl groups. Such changes may alter the results of physiochemical investigations of cuticles.
