  • How to extract jojoba oil from seeds?
  • Different methods, similar to those applied to other oilseeds, have been used for extraction of jojoba oil from the seeds , , , . Those methods are mainly mechanical pressing, mechanical pressing followed by leaching (solvent extraction), or leaching only.
  • How jojoba oil is produced?
  • Jojoba oil is obtained by cultivation of the jojoba plant, harvesting of seeds followed by extraction of oil, which is then converted to biodiesel by the process of transesterification. Energy efficiency is expressed in terms of the net energy balance (NEB) and the net energy ratio (NER).
  • Can jojoba seeds be pressed using a screw press?
  • Extraction and grinding energy (EGE) Jojoba seeds contain at least 50% of its weight as oil. The pressing of jojoba seeds is easily achieved using a screw press [ 84]. Moreover, screw pressing required lower energy compared with solvent extraction and required no further thermal separation steps.
  • What is the contribution of jojoba seed oil to biodiesel production?
  • The fertilizer production energy and crop production energy contribute to approximately 9.2% and 13.8% of the total energy invested. Therefore, fertilizers and crop protection energy makes the largest single contribution to the total FPE of biodiesel production from jojoba seed oil.
  • How much jojoba oil can be obtained by pressing?
  • The yield of jojoba oil (with reference to total seed) that can be obtained by pressing is about 44% by weight and by first and second pressing followed by leaching is about 50% by weight. The pressure required in the hydraulic press is about 35.4 MPa to obtain the maximum amount by pressing.
  • What is jojoba plant?
  • Jojoba plant is perennial shrub plant that grows naturally in deserts. It produces seeds that are crushed to extract oil which makes up to half the weight of the seeds [ 12 ]. Jojoba is becoming increasingly popular as an industrial crop in some countries as the USA, South America, South Africa, Egypt and Israel [ 13, 14 ].
