Extraction of simmondsins from defatted jojoba meal using aqueous ethanol
Ronald A Holser,Thomas P. Abbott +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, simmondsin compounds were extracted from commercially defatted jojoba meal in laboratory experiments with solutions of 80-100% aqueous ethanol, which is compatible with equipment currently used in the vegetable oils industry and would require only modest changes in operating conditions and plant layout to implement on a large scale.

Rheological properties of lesquerella gum fractions recovered by aqueous extraction.
TL;DR: The authors compared the rheological behavior of gum isolates obtained from whole seed, defatted hull, and defatted meal fractions, and found that whole seed meal appears to be the most cost-effective fraction from which to recover gums.
