Because sperm oil has long been the standard antifoam used by the pharmaceutical industry, it was surprising that substituting jojoba oil increased the penicillin yields dramatically.

5 Uses 1985

As already mentioned, the oil's physical and chemical properties constitute a good basis for its prospective use as an antifoam agent in manufacture of antibiotics.

6 Markets 1985
