The model cuticle was prepared by coating with grape wax a plastic film similar in water permeability to the cutin membrane of the grape. The addition of fatty acids and their esters to this nonliving, artificial, wax-covered membrane system increased evaporation and established that the dipping effect is not restricted to natural grape cuticles.}, issn = {0002-9254}, URL = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/19/1/27}, eprint = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/19/1/27.full.pdf}, journal = {American Journal of Enology and Viticulture} }
