The cotyledons of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seeds contained 50 to 60% of their weight as intracellular wax esters. During germination there was a gradual decrease in the wax content with a concomitant rise in soluble carbohydrates, suggesting that the wax played the role of a food reserve. Thin layer chromatography revealed that both the fatty alcohol and fatty acid were metabolized. The di...

Abstract Skin moisturizing is important in dermatology and cosmetics. Raman microspectroscopy a well‐suited method to determine water concentration profiles the stratum corneum (SC) of untreated formulation‐treated skin vivo. Until now, SC was quantified using ratio proteins, other components were neglected. Here, we apply tailored multivariate curve resolution‐alternating least squares (tMCR‐A...

The corrosion inhibition reaction of plant distillates and their synergistic combination effect was studied. Atlas cedarwood distillate (ACW), admixture sage Jojoba (SJA), jojoba lavender (JLD) were evaluated at minimal concentrations to for on mild steel in 1 M H 2 SO 4 solution. Results showed ACW reacted poorly 1% 2% inhibitor concentration. However, from 3% - 6% concentration the final rate...
