Oil that is produced from the seeds of jatropha plant that grows in
all the common and marginal lands is called as Jatropha oil. The
species of plant that is used for oil extraction is known as
Jatropha Curcas. Since jatropha crucas is very toxic they are not
consumed by humans and other living things.
The main goal of cultivating jatropha all over the world is to
extract oil from the seeds which is used as an alternative energy
source. Jatropha oil extraction methods have also gained the same
importance like jatropha cultivation. Since the oil extracted from
jatropha seeds is the primary source for bio-fuel, the process of
extraction methods have also become significant.
The oil extracted from the seeds is processed to prepare high
quality bio-fuel an alternative source that can be used in diesel
car. While the residue that remains after extracting oil is also
processed and used a biomass feedstock to produce electricity and
is also used as a fertilizer. Jatropha oil is non edible and is
also poisonous.
Jatropha has to be made with two process to get a better yield of
*2% otherwise a yield of less the *5% only will be got.
