Unhydrolyzed jojoba protein products having high simmondsin concentration
View Patent ↗Unhydrolyzed and hydrolyzed jojoba protein having high simmondsin concentration are provided. These jojoba proteins may be in the form of an aqueous dispersion containing a mixture of amino acids, peptides and/or protein fractions derived from the extraction and hydrolysis of naturally occurring jojoba protein, or dried into a powder.
1. An unhydrolyzed jojoba protein composition comprising from about 11-18% by weight simmondsin, and from about 10-30% by weight unhydrolyzed protein, said unhydrolyzed jojoba protein composition having an average protein molecular weight that is 200-880,000 daltons.
2. The composition of claim 1 , said unhydrolyzed protein derivatized by treatment with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-N,N,N-dimethyldodecylammonium chloride.
3. An aqueous dispersion containing unhydrolyzed jojoba protein including a solid phase comprising from about 11-18% by weight simmondsin, and from about 10-30% by weight unhydrolyzed protein, said unhydrolyzed jojoba protein composition having an average protein molecular weight that is 200-880,000 daltons 4,000.
