Abstract
Sweet cherry fruit wax consists of triterpenes, alkanes and alcohols, the cutin fraction is dominated by midchain-oxygenated hydroxyacids. Marked changes in composition of wax and cutin occurred during fruit development indicating that deposition of major constituents ceased during early development resulting in a thinning of the cuticle on the expanding fruit surface.
