The seeds (nuts) of jojoba that come from the jojoba plant containup to 60% of their weight in oil, which is best isolated by coldpressing of the seeds. The golden ‘jojoba oil’ obtainedis really not an ‘oil’, but a ‘liquid wax’. Its structure isdevoid of glycerin, the backbone in the structure of all oils andfats. Jojoba liquid wax is called an oil only because it is aliquid.
- Jojoba oil is a clear, golden-colored, unsaturated liquid wax withno scent or greasy feel. Jojoba oil is chemically a liquidwax, not an oil, i.e. not a liquid fat and not a triglyceride, asall other plant oils. There is no glycerin backbone in jojoba''schemical structure as in fats and oils. Jojoba oil giveslittle or no calories when consumed as it does not have any largeamounts of the fatty acids which are normally in the structure offats and oils. This liquid wax remains a lubricant inthe digestive system and definitely has no cholesterol. However, the word oil is used because it is simpler to accept dueto the fact that it looks like an oil, and the word liquid wax isnot as easy to accept for the users and laymen
- Different than jojoba oil, plant oils and solid fats aretriglycerides with a glycerin backbone from which different fattyacid branch out – like a tree. To emphasize further thedifferences, jojoba oil is only called an oil because it is aliquid-like. Jojoba oil is a straight 42 carbon atom chainunsaturated ester of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, each of whichis made up of 20-21 carbon atoms and thus the fatty acids in jojobaoil are not 16-18 carbon atoms of the fatty acids commonly foundand known in various oils and fats.
THE MAJOR USES FOR JOJOBA OIL:
Jojoba oil uses may be summed up in three maincategories:
- Natural cosmetic uses by using it "as-is", as if it is a liquidcream, a hair oil, or massage oil.
- Industrial cosmetic uses, by using it as an improver andconstituent of shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, creams, soaps,lipstick, etc.
- As an industrial oil, as an improver of lubrication oils of cars,airplanes and various machines, and also as a surfactant improverof paints, varnishes, plastics, waxes, etc. In waxing, it canbe used "as-is" or mixed with other waxes.
The uses of jojoba oil were initially limited for its use as-is fortreatment and beautification of facial complexion and hair and thenit was included in the various cosmeticindustries.
The jojoba oil which is obtained as a second grade from theremaining by-products of jojobaseeds pressing using chemicalextraction by hexane or cyclohexane solvents of jojoba cakeresidue (called jifit) is used only for industrial uses, mainlylubricants. These uses include waxing of materials, and theimprovement of car oil as jojoba oil withstands high motor oiltemperature. This is so because of the high boiling point ofjojoba oil which is 389o C. It has a great capacity toprevent oil oxidation and it is effective in preserving car motoroil''s viscosity and that of other motors for a long period whichin turn increases the motor life, and its efficiency under the hightemperature and pressure uses. about 50 ml of jojoba oil perliter of the car''s motor oil or transmission oil is generally usedto extend the use of car oil to 20, 000 kilometers of drivingbefore it has to be changed.
Therefore, with the need for huge quantities of jojoba oil for thelubrication industry, especially for cars and airplanes, even ifhuge land areas in various parts of the world are planted withjojoba, the oil produced from it will not be sufficient to meet allthe needs of various industrial uses.
All this in addition to the special and unique utilization ofjojoba oil to treatment of skin diseases and the various industrialcosmetic uses as that of shampoos and the many creams forbeautification of face and hair and the prevention of facial andneck wrinkles. Jojoba oil in all of these cosmetic uses ismore superior and distinctive over seed plants oil and animal fatsand the many synthetic chemical substances which are added tocosmetics for their marketing using costlyadvertisements.
Jojoba oil use as a cooking oil remains limited because of its highcost and it seems it will remain relatively expensive for some timebecause the quantities produced worldwide from jojoba trees arevery limited. Its use in food will be elaborated on later inanother section.
HOME USES OF PALESTINIAN JOJOBA OIL:
Jojoba oil can be used in frying eggs and potatoes, in salads,rice, and various meals with or without meat, etc. Ofinterest, it is really a diet oil with minimal calories because itis a wax and very little of it is absorbed. It is a lubricantto the digestive tract system and helps relieve constipation andstomach ulcers.
WHAT ARE THE GENERAL SCIENTIFICBENEFITS?
There is a justified trend world-wide to use natural productsbecause of the fear of introducing carcinogenic changes in thehuman body and on the skin through synthetic chemicals. Jojobaseed oil is natural and when produced organically is safefor the human body. Its major use "as-is" for facial and haircosmetic products is desired as an effective and good selling pointfor such products because of thefollowing:
- Because it penetrates into skin rapidly without leaving any oiltraces within only a few seconds as it is a straight unsaturatedester chain of fatty alcohols and fatty acids which is unlike thebranched fatty oils. Also, jojoba oil resembles the oil ofthe skin known as sebum. It is so immediate in this rapidpenetration that one may think it evaporated, but really it didenter the skin – and what enters the skin is what really gives atrue benefit. Thus, this oil keeps the skin and hair fromdrying. It is a sure remedy against diaper rash forbabies.
- Jojoba oil prevents chapping and rash, and prevents wrinkleformation if used as a night cream.
- For the hair, it keeps it smooth and silky with a slight shine andprevents hair fall-out.
- For massage, it is soothing and relaxing and helps in the relief ofpain.
- Jojoba oil which is chemically a liquid wax, as mentionedpreviously, is mostly undigested and because it is edible, it canact as a lubricant to the digestive system without being degradedinto calories. Thus, when used in frying and cooking it is adiet oil. only organic, i.e. chemically-free, jojoba oil asthat of the natural Palestinian jojoba oil should be used incooking foods and in salads because it is free of all chemicals and100% natural.
- Again, because of its property that it does not boil up to the veryhigh temperature of 389oC and because it has high concentrations ofthe antioxidant tocopherols of the Vitamin E group, it is used asan improver of the lubrication capacity and quality of motor oilsof cars, airplanes, etc., and we have been using it regularly inPalestine at 50 ml per liter of motor oil in cars for thispurpose. A car may run for over 20, 000 kilometers withoutthe need for an oil change when jojoba oil is added to the motoroil and the transmission oil.
