Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a unique plant currently being domesticated. The fruit is the main component of value, although the leaves are occasionally made into sea buckthorn tea. The two main sources of valuable products are derived from the berries, juice from the fleshy tissue and seed as a single seed from each berry. The juice provides a nutritious beverage, high in suspended solids and very high in vitamin C and carotenes. The juice may contain an oil phase trapped within the suspended solids, or the oil may be removed as pulp oil and provided separately. The pulp remaining after juice removal provides for extraction of "sea buckthorn yellow", a pigment that has potential use as a food coloring material. The seed is a source of seed oil, which is very unsaturated and shows promise, because of its light absorption and emollient properties, as an ingredient in cosmetics, phytopharmaceuticals, or UV skin protectant preparations. It may be prepared by conventional extraction techniques or by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The manufacture of the main products derived from sea buckthorn is described, including several examples from the patent literature. The available compositional data for the main products are tabulated to form a comprehensive source of information on the manufacture and composition of sea buckthorn products.
The form of discharger above described leaves the terminals free and exposes the slit to spattering. This difficulty is removed by simply covering the slit with a glass microscope slip of suitable size. W e use a slip three inches long by two wide and about one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness, and hold it in place by two rubber bands. If the glass becomes spattered, it can easily be wiped clean or replaced by a clean slip.T h e upper terminal, which is not shown in the figure, consists of an insulated platinum wire or a graphite cone, around which the wire is wrapped.
Local conditions effecting cost of raw material, freight, and power, and changes in market price of product, would greatly influence the value of this estimate, With these figures, however, any one may readily calculate the probable cost in any locality when the conditions affecting it are known.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
