General description

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax obtained from the seeds of jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). It is generally composed of long chain esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Its minor constituents may include free fatty acids and alcohols, phytosterols, tocopherols phospholipids, and triglycerides. The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) produced by the transesterification of jojoba oil-wax with methanol shows promising potential as biodiesel.
