Biopolyester Membranes of Plants: Cutin and Suberin
Science, 1980Cutin, a biopolyester composed of hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids, is the barrier between the aerial parts of higher plants and their environment. Suberin, a polymer containing aromatics and polyesters, functions as a barrier in underground parts, wound surfaces, and a variety of internal organs.

Cork Suberin: A Glyceryl Based Polyester
Holzforschung, 1997Total depolymerization of cork from the cork oak (Quercus suber L.) by using a sodium methoxide catalysed methanolysis solubilized 53.2 % of the material, including 5.2 % of glycerol, 48,0 % of suberinic fatty acids and alcohols and minor amounts of ferulic acid.

Langmuir monolayers of fractions of cork suberin extract
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2010The wide variability in composition and molecular weight of natural polymers has hampered understanding of their physicochemical properties and ultimately their use in noble applications, especially in the cases where surface properties need to be probed at the molecular level.

Plant waxes consisting of very long-chain, relatively nonpolar lipid molecules are associated primarily with the cuticle which extends in a continuous sheet exterior to the walls of the epidermal cells of aerial tissues. In underground tissues, stems undergoing secondary growth, and wound healing sites, waxes are associated with the suberin matrix, a ...

Biochemistry and function of cutin and suberin
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1984Cutin, the structural component of plant cuticle, is a biopolyester composed of hydroxy- and hydroxyepoxy-fatty acids. The major monomers are a 16-hydroxy C16 acid, a 10,16-dihydroxy C16 acid together with its positional isomers, 18-hydroxy C18 acids, 18-hydroxy-9,10-epoxy C18 acids, and 9,10,18-trihydroxy C18 acids.

The European pulp mills produce large amounts of bark as a by-product, about 4.3 Mt/y. Additional amounts are produced at sawmills. Birch outer bark contains about 35% of suberin. Suberin - a natural polyester - can be easily separated and depolymerized leading to the corresponding fatty acids, which are mostly straight chain, even numbered C16-C24 ...
