the Organoleptichesky estimation. Quality of wax at addition to it various voskoobraznyh substances worsens, manufacturing voshchiny from it is at a loss, becomes frequent it unsuitable for otstrojki its bees. The Organoleptichesky method of an estimation of quality of wax allows on appearance of an ingot, structure, character of a break and a cut, a smell, colour, taste, to fragility and other indicators to define the maintenance of various impurity. On organo-lepticheskim to indicators each ingot of wax is subject to beeswax quality check. All ingots subject to check split half-and-half.

The Smell. Beeswax possesses honey or medovo-propolisnym a smell. Rosin, stearin, tserezin and the paraffin, added to it, give it the specific smell peculiar to these substances.

The Form of an ingot of wax. The ingot of natural wax has equal or slightly concave surface and at blow by a hammer easily breaks up. If in wax paraffin the ingot surface is bent is added. Blow by a hammer does not split it, and forms a dent round which the ingot slightly brightens.

Character izlomaisreza. On the broken ingot of natural beeswax

The structure is well appreciable melkokristallicheskaja. If to wax paraffin in the broken ingot separate crystals will be clearly visible is added. At naturalnoju wax a cut matte but if to wax paraffin is added, tserezin or rosin this cut will be smooth and shining.

Fragility of wax. At addition in wax of paraffin or stearin it becomes more fragile, than natural wax.

Character of a shaving. If to wax paraffin its shaving crumbles is added, and at addition tserezina it becomes fragile.

If to knead wax in which paraffin is added, fat content is felt, the slice of natural wax becomes plastic.

For definition of quality the wax slice can be chewed. If thus wax sticks to a teeth, means, in it there is an impurity of stearin, rosin or fat. Natural wax to a teeth does not stick.
