AI Article Synopsis

  • A new capillary gas chromatographic method was created to measure both simmondsins and simmondsin ferulates.
  • The method can be used on various samples, including jojoba meal, detoxified jojoba meal, jojoba meal extracts, and animal food mixtures.
  • This approach allows researchers to analyze these compounds simultaneously, improving efficiency in food and dietary studies.

Article Abstract

A capillary gas chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of simmondsins and simmondsin ferulates in jojoba meal, in detoxified jojoba meal, in jojoba meal extracts, and in animal food mixtures.

Background: The increasing demand and the continuous depletion in fossil fuels have persuaded researchers to investigate new sources of renewable energy. Bioethanol produced from cellulose could be a cost-effective and a viable alternative to petroleum. It is worth note that β-glucosidase plays a key role in the hydrolysis of cellulose and therefore in the production of bioethanol.

Defluoridation technology for drinking water and tea by green synthesized FeO/AlO nanoparticles coated polyurethane foams for rural communities.

Sci Rep

Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Banasthali Vidyapith, Banasthali Tonk, Rajasthan, 304022, India.

Fluoride (F) contaminated ground water poses a serious public health concern to rural population with unaffordable purification technologies. Therefore, development of a cost-effective, portable, environment and user-friendly defluoridation technique is imperative. In the present study, we report on the development of a green and cost-effective method that utilizes FeO and AlO nanoparticles (NPs) that were synthesized using jojoba defatted meal.

Interdisciplinary Research Centre, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Campus Kortrijk, E. Sabbelaan 53, B8500 Kortrijk, Belgium. Electronic address:

Simmondsin, a cyanoglycoside from jojoba meal, reduces food intake after oral administration. To diagnose if it acts by inducing satiation or by creating abnormal physiological effects, an observational study was undertaken to investigate the effects of simmondsin on feeding and other behaviors. Particular attention was paid to the behavioral sequence associated with satiety (BSS).

When defatted jojoba meal is used as animal food, it causes food-intake reduction and growth retardation. Detoxification procedures by chemical, microbiological, and solvent extraction methods are reported by several authors. Here we report a successful detoxification of jojoba meal using enzymes.

A mixture of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been isolated by column chromatography from a jojoba meal (Simmondsia chinensis) extract. The molecular species of both classes could be separated and isolated by C18 reversed phase HPLC. The two major compounds were identified by 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR, by MS, and by GC-MS as 1-oleoyl-3-lysophosphatidylcholine and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-phosphatidylcholine.
