Abstract: Policosanol is a group of long chain aliphatic alcohols of 20–36 carbon atoms which have beneficial uses in pharmaceutical and supplementary products. For this research, we had successfully used microwave instrument for activating hydrolysis of the wax ester in beeswax to policosanol in short time. The beeswax contained 0.2-0.5 % of moisture and melted at 58– 62 °C. The crude beeswax was purified by refluxing with hexane and isopropanol for triglycerides elimination. The purified beeswax was completely hydrolyzed with 0.5 M KOH in 80% ethanol in 5 minutes at 100 watts microwave irradiation activation. The wax ester was hydrolyzed to long chain alcohols (policosanol) and long chain fatty acids, and thin layer chromatographic technique (TLC) was used to analyze the products. The hydrolysis technique via microwave energy was successfully used for policosanol extraction from beeswax.
