JOJOBA FUTURE PLANTS

-
agricultural  The earliest news about jojoba plants is found in the Italian Jesuit diary, Clavijero, detailing the use of jojoba by people in Baja California.But the use of jojoba oil has been known by the indians of papago before the influx of the Europeans. At that time jojoba seeds have been used for abdominal pain medication, hair growing, and for primitive cosmetics for men and women.
In 1936 for the first time given that jojoba oil has unique chemistry and physics resembles sperm whale oil. While the publication in the first cosmetic literature appeared in 1942.Jojoba oil is also predicted to be a fairly important commercial product. But attention the world during World War 11 on this new plant at first glance.
In 1943 it was reported that Glidden Company would cultivate 640 acres (259 ha) of jojoba, but the project was abandoned due to its long growing period.
substitute sperm whale oil
Serious attention to jojoba crops occurred in 1973, when the conservation laws were passed on endangered species, and sperm whales were one of the protected animals from extinction.
The passing of the law was followed by a ban on the importation of whale oil from various countries suppliers to the United States. As a result, various cosmetic and lubricant industries that use sperm whale oil is of course frustrated to immediately find a replacement.
Why is sperm oil much needed in industrial processes, because of its benefits as an intermediary in chemical processes and as a lubricant with its anti-dry oil properties that prevents wear.
To meet the needs of various industries then the effort to find a replacement of sperm whale oil was immediately done. With consideration of chemical composition similarity and physical properties between sperm whale oil and jojoba oil.Then research on jojoba oil was soon carried out. From various researches it was found that jojoba oil is not a glyceride fat but a liquid wax consisting almost entirely of llurus acid and alcohol with a very difficult to synthesize C-20 and C-22 arrangement.
 The figure of jojoba

 Jojoba is a native desert plant from southern California and Desert sonoran from Arizona and Mexico. Simmondsia chinensis and S.Californica are members of the Buxaceae family. The breed grows upright with banyk branches. The height of the plant is between 0.6m-4.5m.Daunyya is oval

So there are male and female plants. Male plants have flowers that contain tepungsari while the female plants have small flowers that after pollinated will be a green capsule.
The capsule will mature and show the seeds are brown.Jojoba seed itself is only the size of the coffee beans.Leight seeds 0.1-1.5g with diameter 3-15mm.Jojoba oil obtained from seeds of jojoba plants are processed or extracted with solvent.Its oil content of 44% -58% is definitely special and is not found in other plant grains. Jojoba plant can remain productive until reaching the age of 50-200 years.

D RYING 1 AND MATURATION This drying and ripening is done alternately for 5-7 days.   The wilted vanilla was drained, then dried in an oven at 60-65c for 3 hours. This drying can also be done with drying under the sun for 3 hours. After three hours of drying, as soon as vanilla is inserted into the maturation box. The goal, to stimulate the creation of a distinctive aroma of vanilla.In this cure will occur enzymatic reactions, changes glukovanillin into glucose and vanillin so arise typical. Vanilla is still hot when put into a ripening box. which is closed and insulated, and left for one day. The next day it was dried again for 3 hours, then again.
