Jatrpha oil

详情

Jatropha is a hardy bush, able to grow in areas with poor soils and rainfall as low as **0 mm/year. It has grown across Asia for many years and has been used as a natural hedge and for producing traditional medicines. At present there are few large-scale commercial operations involving jatropha, although the Company is aware of considerable commercial interest. With our new innovation about the jetropha science, we have been able to produce the finest breeds of jetropha seeds within an estimated period of one year to maturity which would have taken an avearge period of  **5 years and is usually productive for at least *0 years. When ripe, the fruit is collected by hand and the seeds are separated from the fruit. The residual fruit biomass can be used as an organic crop fertiliser. The seeds, with an oil content of up to *0%, are then pressed to extract the oil, leaving a residue or oil seedcake. The seedcake is valuable as a fuel for domestic or export markets. After filtration, the crude jatropha oil is suitable for processing into biodiesel that complies with European and US standards
