| of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis [Link] Schneider)  | | | | Abstract
| Epicuticular waxes were extracted with hexane from dry Jojoba pericarp and seed. These cuticular waxes consisted of hydrocarbons, wax esters, free acids, free alcohols and sterols; additionally aldehydes were found in the wax obtained from seed coats. The hydrocarbon fraction contained a homologous series of «-alkanes and branched alkanes but no alkenes. The composition of the wax esters of the cuticular wax was similar to that of the cotyledons. The esters are composed of monounsaturated long chain acids and alcohols. | | | |
