Summary Data for the application of the versatile filtration‐extraction process to jojoba seed on a bench‐scale has been presented. Based on experience with other oil‐seeds, there should be good correlation between the bench‐scale and its commercial application. Moisture contents of the material during cooking were optimum at 10 and 15%. Mass velocities in excess of 2,000 and extraction efficiencies of over 98% were obtained. These results are considered suitable for commercial application. Hexane is recommended over heptane as the extraction solvent. The use of uncooked flakes is not considered feasible for large‐scale application.
