to 62° C. ; 10 per cent raises it to 74° and 70° C, respectively. 

 By ingenious compounding, beeswax can be adulterated with 

 paraffin and with tallow, resin, or Japanese wax without a 

 deviation in the saponification value and with very slight change 

 in the melting point. In such cases the clouding point would 

 be useful in the detection of the adulteration. 



SUMMARY 



The constants for Philippine beeswax are given in Table I. 

 Comparison of these with the constants of the Japanese and 

 Korean is made. 



The clouding point of the local beeswax compared with that 

 for European and East Indian waxes is added.
