Abstract | The wood and fruit of Jatropha can be used for numerous purposes including fuel. The seeds contain (50% by weight) viscous oil, which can be used for manufacturing of candles and soaps, in the cosmetics industry, for cooking and lighting by itself or as a diesel/paraffin substitute or extender. This latter use has important for meeting the demand for rural energy services and also exploring practical substitutes for fossil fuels to counter greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere. Seed-cake or press-cake is a by-product of oil extraction. Jatropha seed-cake contains curcin, a highly toxic protein similar to ricin in Castor, making it unsuitable for animal feed (RF, 1998, Makkar et al., 2001). |
