  • Isomerization of jojoba oil and products thereof
    Patent number: 4329298
    Abstract: A process for isomerization of natural jojoba oil, a wax-type ester is described. It is based on contacting jojoba oil, essentially all cis-configuration with an acidic bentonite-type clay at temperatures in the range 150.degree.-350.degree. C. The resulting isomerates, predominately of trans-configuration have melting points in the range 25.degree. to about 44.degree. C.
