“…As mentioned in the experimental section, at the conclusion of this preparation, a mixture of JME and JA was obtained. JME was separated from JA by an enhanced filtration method previously described [2] until no JA precipitate was noticed in a solution of JME in petroleum ether. However, the 1 H-NMR spectrum of JME showed additional signals indicative of JA and JO at δ 3.63 and 4.00 ppm, respectively, at very low concentrations.…”

“…1) was accomplished following the procedure elucidated by Canoria et al [2]. Freshly cut sodium metal (0.736 g, 0.032 mol) was added to the methyl alcohol (39.5 g, 1.23 mol) and allowed to dissolve for 30 min.…”

“…The procedure used for the purification of JME was an adaptation of the method documented by Canoria et al [2]. The mixture of JME and JA (43 g combined, 50 mL) was dissolved in petroleum ether (100 mL; boiling point=30-60°C) and the solution was allowed to sit overnight (16 h) at approximately −15°C in a freezer.…”

“…Jojoba is unique in that the lipid content of the seeds, which is between 45 and 55 wt.%, is in the form of long-chain esters of fatty acids (FA) and alcohols (wax esters) as opposed to triacylglycerols (TAG) encountered in other vegetable oils and animal fats [1,2]. The fatty acid component of jojoba wax esters primarily consists of eiconenoic, erucic, and oleic acids with cis-11-eicosen-1-ol and cis-13-docosen-1-ol principally composing the alcohol component [2]. Jojoba oil (JO) is currently used in cosmetics and hair care products, as well as a feedstock for lubricant and additive applications, as the viscosity index of JO is much higher than that of petroleum oil [3][4][5][6].…”

“…The reaction conditions for the production of BD from JO have been studied using response surface methodology by Bouaid et al [1]. In addition, selected physical properties of JME have been reported [2], along with indirect-injection (diesel) engine emissions characteristics [11].…”

The jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis L.) produces seeds that contain around 50 to 60 wt.% of inedible long-chain wax esters that are suitable as a potential feedstock for biodiesel (BD) production. Jojoba oil methyl esters (JME) were prepared from acid-catalyzed pretreated jojoba oil in order to evaluate important fuel properties of jojoba-based BD, including kinematic viscosity, cloud point (CP), pour point (PP), cold filter plugging point (CFPP), acid value (AV), oxidative stability, and lubricity. A comparison was made with soybean oil methyl esters (SME) and relevant BD fuel standards such as ASTM D6751 and EN 14214. JME was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance. The CP, PP, and CFPP of JME were −13°C, −16°C, and −14°C, respectively, which were superior to SME. The kinematic viscosity (40°C) of JME was 6.67 mm 2 /s, which was higher than observed for SME. Blends (B5 and B20) of JME in ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) were also evaluated for the aforementioned fuel properties and compared to an analogous set of blends of SME in ULSD and relevant petro diesel fuel standards such as ASTM D975 and D7467. JME blends in ULSD displayed improved low-temperature properties in comparison to neat ULSD and blends of SME in ULSD. In summary, jojoba oil has potential as an alternative, nonfood feedstock for BD production.

Dietary low‐calorie structured lipids have been recognized as contributory factors in the development and prevention of many diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic disorders. Experimental studies have been conducted in both animals and humans to evaluate the potential role of low‐calorie lipids in disease risk reduction. This article explains the main calorie‐reduced lipids, their physiological functions, and molecular actions on health.
