Popis:	This chapter presents an overview on waxes, starting with a general definition of the term. Natural waxes occur throughout the plant and animal kingdoms and are used in the food and cosmetic industries and have many other industrial applications. We have selected certain sources of waxes for discussion but they are not exhaustive. The coverage is both historical and modern in nature. There were limited examples of bioactivities associated with natural waxes but these were also discussed.
