GAYOL, M.F; LABUCKAS, D.O.; OBERTI, J.C.  and  GUZMAN, C.A.. Chemical characterization of jojoba seeds (Simmondsia Chinensis (Link) Schneider), proceeding from “Bañado de los Pantanos”, La Rioja, Argentina. An. Asoc. Quím. Argent. [online]. 2004, vol.92, n.4-6, pp.59-63. ISSN 0365-0375.

The objectives of this work are to analyze and compare the content of some components of jojoba seeds from “Bañado de los Pantanos”, La Rioja, Argentina. The following parameters were determined in nine clones: ash, lipids, proteins, nitrogen-free extract, phenols and tannins. The maximum values corresponded to lipids (58,47 % in clone 206), proteins (25,58% in clone 403) and tannins (3,95 % in clone 503). All these parameters showed significant differences among the clones.
