Summary A simple, rapid adsorption method for the isolation of candelilla paraffins has been described. Use of the method as a quantitative procedure yielded 52.2% paraffins. X‐ray analysis and other physical data indicated that the principal candelilla paraffin was the C 31 compound. The C 29 and C 33 homologues were also found to be present, C 29 being reported for the first time. The presence of ketones could not be established.
