JCDB: a comprehensive knowledge base for Jatropha
Background: Jatropha curcas is an oil-bearing plant, and has seeds with high oil content (~40%). Several advantages, such as easy genetic transformation and short generation duration, have led to the emergence of J. curcas as a
Frontiers | Current Progress of Jatropha Curcas
Depending on soil quality and rainfall, the oil from Jatropha curcas nuts and seeds may be obtained after 2? years after cultivation. Jatropha Curcas nuts or seeds are produced in quantities ranging from 0.5 to 12 tonnes per year per hectare.
Genetic Engineering for the Improvement of Oil Content
Among plant-based oils, Jatropha curcas L. has received attention as an energy plant for its exploitation in biodiesel production. The increasing cost of
A comparative appraisal of three important oil yielding
Comparative oil yield. Jatropha curcas produces seeds from its third year, and the annual seed yield per plant has been reported to be up to 2.0 kg (Francis, 2005; Wu et al. 2011). According to Wu et al. , the kernels of J. curcas contain 35?5% oil depending on the accession. This oil contains mainly oleic (37?3%), linoleic (19?0%)
GROUNDNUT OIL Food and Agriculture Organization
2.-Processing details for groundnut 2.1.-Preparation of raw material The best available groundnuts should be used for oil production to increase yields and reduce the risk of
International experiences with the cultivation of Jatropha
However, the results of the projects have not been satisfactory, although J. curcas is a special versatile oil plant. This article therefore analyzes the main problems identified (economic, environmental and social conflicts) in the global experiences of biodiesel production from J. curcas seeds.
Genetic evaluation of Jatropha curcas: an important
We have made the first genetic evaluation of J. curcas collected from Brazil. Our objective was to quantify genetic diversity and to estimate genetic parameters for growth
Design and Development of an Efficient Screw Press Expeller
A maximum oil recovery of 73.14% was obtained when Jatropha seeds were conditioned to a dry basis (db) moisture level of 9.69% and cooked at 110 degrees C for 10 min. Screw press oil recovery
Nigerian Jatropha Curcas Oil Seeds: Prospect for Biodiesel
Consequently, this study reveals that Jatropha curcas, an economically invaluable plant in Nigeria, could be a good feedstock for biodiesel production
Breeding Major Oilseed Crops: Prospects and Future Research
Same is the trend for groundnut which exhibited a steady growth in area from 19. 8 million ha (1990) to 29.7 million ha (2018) with an average of 24.3 million ha over the three decades; production increases from 23.0 million tons (1990) to 50.8 million tons (2018); and yields dwindled from 1151 kg ha in the year 1991 to 1722 kg in 2013 and 1713
