Rice bran wax number = 11.1 - 17.6 Free fatty acids = 2.1 - 7.3% Phosphorus = 0.01 - 0.15% Color: Off-white to moderate orange/brown Odor: typical fatty, crayola-ish Rice bran wax bleaches and deodorizes readily INCI name: "Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax". Rice bran wax Rice bran wax is the vegetable wax extracted from the bran oil of rice ("Oryza sativa"). The main components of rice bran wax are aliphatic acids (wax acids) and higher alcohol esters. The aliphatic acids consist of palmitic acid (C16), behenic acid (C22), lignoceric acid (C24), other higher wax acids. The higher alcohol esters consist mainly of
Plant genome assembly products were used to clone remaining gaps, and YACs allowed the characterization of telomere sequences. The resulting sequenced regions were 115.4 Mb of the 125 Mb predicted size of the genome and a total of 25,498 of protein-coding genes. To sequence and assemble the genome of Oryza Sativa (japonica), the same strategy was used. For Oryza Sativa a total of 3,401 mapped clones in a minimum tiling path were selected from the physical map and assembled. One of the most important crops in the world, maize (Zea mays), is the last plant genome project primarily based on Sanger BAC-by-BAC strategy.
