The objective of the research was to characterize the quality of damaged and undamaged jojoba seeds. The study was performed on jojoba seeds grown in La Rioja, Argentina. Proximal composition, fatty acid composition, acid value, peroxide value, conjugated dienes and trienes and protein electrophoresis profiles were determined in undamaged (JS) and damaged jojoba seeds (DJS). The fat content (wax) was lower in DJS (39.11%) than in JS (50.82%). The values of acid, peroxide, conjugated dienes and trienes were higher in DJS than in JS. No difference in fatty acid composition was observed between DJS and JS. The protein content was not significantly different between JS and DJS. However, DJS had lower soluble protein values. In the electrophoresis profiles, the band located at 50 kDa disappeared in DJS and the intensity of the band located at 25 kDa decreased. The deterioration process in jojoba kernels significantly affects the chemical quality of their proteins and waxes.

“…The protein percentages were not significantly different between DJS and JS. Jojoba seeds from America had the following protein contents: 14.90% [1], 15.00% [2] and 15.20% [11]. In this study, the protein percentages in DJS (18.40%) and JS (18.03%) were higher than the values reported by other researchers.…”

“…The oil from the jojoba plant, an oil mainly composed of linear wax esters (95%) rather than TAGs as is the case for all other known seed oils (Cappillino et al, 2003;Wisniak, 1987), although hailed for its very interesting properties is relatively less studied. It is used in a wide range of applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, lubrication and even the synthesis of biodiesel (Bhatia et al, 1990;El-Boulifi et al, 2015;Fuks et al, 1992;Ossia et al, 2008;Sánchez et al, 2015;Shah et al, 2010;Shani, 1995;Wisniak, 1994) but little is known of its potential for chemical transformation and the possible uses of its derivatives.…”
