OSTI ID:5489292
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) has recently received attention because its seed oil content of about 50% is a possible substitute for sperm whale oil. This document reviews the literature on its botany and natural history, and the utilization of the seed oil and the production of seed. Current research activities are also noted. However, the major portion of the paper consists of the annotated bibliography, which appears as a computer print-out with citations and key-words. Author and key-word indexes are included.
