 The primary policosanol in rice bran wax is triacontanol, a 30-carbon aliphatic alcohol (molecular weight: 438.80). Triacontanol has been demonstrated in numerous studies to increase the growth of various plants, including tomato, cotton seed, orchids, tulip bulbs, sweet corn, and white kidney bean extract (Phaseolus vulgaris, used in today's popular alpha-amylase inhibitors).

 Common Uses and Applications Note:

 Recent in vitro research has shown triacontanol to be a powerful inhibitor of lipid peroxidation, and it may exert anti-inflammatory effects. In fact, the anti-inflammatory effect may be mediated by its capability to reduce lipid peroxidation. The sugar cane wax contains between 10-15 percent triacontanol, while the rice bran wax and beeswax contains approximately 26 percent each.

 Triacontanol has been recognised as prominent chemical for plant growthstimulator. For the report in 1977 by Dr. S.K. Ries in MichiganStateUniversity, people around the world show great interest on this product, a lot of study on its production and application were done in America, Britain. Since the end of 1970s we have started our research and have made great achievement.

 Triacontanol is a linearsaturated fatty alcohol as plant growthstimulator found in the plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax, which is healthy and safe for human and animal use.
 Stimulate and enhance seed germination
 Helps in better root development leading to effective utilization of nutrients
 Improves photosynthetic activity in crop plants
 Increases flowering and fruiting
 Reduces flower and fruit drop
 Improves quality and yield of produce
 Improve the enzyme and increase the respiration

 Its efficiency is proved for high yield in the case of number of field crops like rice, wheat, tomatoes, maize, lettuce, cucumber, potatoes, cauliflower, etc in this modified process, different solvent is used for the extraction of sugarcane press mud.

 Currently the research on Triacosanol is still on, which covers the fields of oil and fat , cosmetic, feedstuff additive, aquiculture, fruit preservation , garden virescence, etc.
