Abstract

The present invention relates to a series of "reconstituted meadowfoam oils". The term reconstituted as used heron refers to a process in which meadowfoam oil and one or more oils of natural origin are transesterfied under conditions of high temperature and catalyst to make a "reconstituted product" having an altered alkyl distribution and consequently altered chemical and physical properties. The present invention deals with the reaction of meadowfoam oil and beeswax, carnauba wax, candellia wax, and jojoba oil.
