Is there wax on apples?

What is the wax feeling on fruits from the store?
It's a natural wax (which is, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate. Apples, for example, are not waxed for cosmetic reasons, but actually, the wax helps it keep firm and juicy, and protected from the penetration of bacteria. Basically, the carnauba is a replacement for the apple's own natural wax, which it produces on its own, but gets washed off when the farmers clean it. The carnauba wax is then applied to mimic the apple's own natural wax-- keeping the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.
What wax is used for waxing apple fruit?
There is a natural wax on apples but after harvest apples are washed and brushed to remove leaves and field dirt before they are packed in cartons for shipping. This cleaning process removes the fruit's original wax coating. Without wax, fruits and vegetables like apples lose their crispness and moisture through normal respiration and transpiration - eventually leaving them soft and dry. A food grade wax is sprayed on apples to keep them shiny (for cosmetic purposes) and to protect the fruit.

It's a natural wax (and, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate.

Do apples spoil faster in wax paper or plastic paper?
Not exactly. Apples can be fresh if you put them in the fridge. They don't need wax paper. And don't worry if you cut the apple, let it sit there, and it turns a bit yellow. It's natural., and it's still the same thing. :) pinneapple juice preserves it though
