How do we achieve commercially viable seed and oil yields of Jatropha?

The results show that under semi-arid conditions, commercially viable seed and oil yields of Jatropha can be achieved by carefully balancing vegetative growth with reproductive capacity through the combined application of optimal irrigation regimes and induced vegetative arrest.

Can semi-arid conditions maximize jatropha oil production?

Despite its great potential, however, many projects failed to reach commercially viable seed and oil yields. The aim of the study was to provide globally applicable solutions for maximization of Jatropha oil production under semi-arid conditions.

How is biodiesel extracted from Jatropha?

Biodiesel is the main product from Jatropha, which is obtained from the oil derived from its seeds. Oil is typically extracted using cold press or a mechanical expeller. Steam may be used during the process to maximize the recovery. A high-quality oil is one without any free fatty acids (FFA).

What is the value of seed oil in Jatropha?

Evidently, the focus of scientific community revolves around seed yield and high oil content in seeds of Jatropha, and any value above 30% w/w for seed oil is generally appreciated (Ginwal et al. 2004; Kaushik et al. 2007; Singh et al. 2013 ).
