In the present investigation natural phenolic antioxidants were extracted from Jojoba seed waste. Samples of defatted jojoba meal (JSM), detoxified residue (DMR) and shell (JSH) subjected to extraction by using various solvents: 70/30 (vol/vol) ethanol/water, methanol/water 60/40 acetone/water. Total phenolics content (TPC) is measured according Folin-Ciocalteu method. In addition, solvent extr...

A synthesis of the disaccharide recently isolated from jojoba beans, 2-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-D-chiro-inositol, has been achieved. The suitably protected chiro-inositol unit was prepared by an enantiospecific synthesis from L-xylose utilizing SmI2-mediated pinacol coupling as a key step.

The potential of arid/semiarid land plants a s sources of commercial products is illustrated by the following examples: candelilla (wax); jojoba (oil, protein); Acacia spp. (gum); Astragalus spp. (tragacanth gum); guayule (rubber); rabbitbrush (rubber, chemicals); sunflowers (rubber, chemicals); yucca (soap); and cresote bush (antioxidants, phenolic resins). co-evolutionary selection is a cause...

Enhanced seeds, e.g. dressed, encrusted or pelleted are often sown in agricultural practice. These treatments play a different role depending on the type and chemical composition of preparation. The aim experiment was to compare effectiveness three coatings (B – chitosan, C chitosan + alginate/jojoba oil/E D alginate/PEG) applied soybean seeds comparison control (A). study carried out cultivars...
