The world is getting modernized and industrialized day by day. As a result vehicles and engines are increasing. But energy sources used in these engines are limited and decreasing gradually. This situation leads to seek an alternative fuel for diesel engine. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engine. The esters of vegetables oil animal fats are known as Biodiesel. This paper investigat...

Jatropha curcas (L.) is a perennial plant of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Recently, it has received much attention as a potential source of vegetable oil as a replacement for petroleum, and, in particular, the production of biodiesel. Despite the interest that is being shown in the large-scale cultivation of J. curcas, genetic resources remain poorly characterized and conserved and there ...

In the present study, we applied nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as well as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, to Jatropha curcas to fulfill two objectives: (1) to qualitatively examine the seeds stored at different conditions, and (2) to monitor the metabolism of J. curcas during its initial growth stage under stable-isotope-labeling condition (until 15 days after seeding). NIR spectra could ...

Out of various no edible oil resources, jatropha curcas oil is considered as a promising alternate fuel for CI engines. The present study describes the process used for production of degummed jatropha oil (DGJO) and jatropha methyl ester (JBD) The important fuel properties of DGJO and JBD were determined and compared with fossil diesel and jatropha oil. The degumming and trans esterification pr...

Jatropha curcas is a plant that can be used as substitute for diesel fuel. Lack of knowledge farmers and the limited number experts extension agents into problem dealing with disease which resulted in lower quality curcas. H2O Algorithm Curcas identification. Based on previous research, gave 96.066%. In this we Genetic to do feature selection. algorithm selection average accuracy 97.03%, means ...

Objective: To determine the effect of pruning on seedlings Jatropha curcas L. during nursery stage.Design/Methodology/Approach: thenursery stage, a study was carried out at CPA “Abel Santamaría” Martí municipality,Cuba. A complete randomized design used. Three treatments (T) were tested: 1) control (without pruning),2) 30 cm above soil and seedling defoliation, 3) without seedlingdefoliation. d...

We estimated the genetic diversity of 50 Jatropha curcas samples from the Costa Rican germplasm bank using 18 EST-SSR, one G-SSR and nrDNA-ITS markers. We also evaluated the phylogenetic relationships among samples using nuclear ribosomal ITS markers. Non-toxicity was evaluated using G-SSRs and SCARs markers. A Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree and a Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree were constructed using...
