Analysis of the Jatropha seed shows the following chemical composition :
Moisture 6.20%
Protein 18.00%
Fat 38.00%
Carbohydrates 17.00%
Fiber 15.50 %
Asg 5.30%
The oil content is 35 - 40 in the see and 50 - 60 % in the kermel. The oil contains 21% satured fatty acids and 79 % unsaturated fatty acids. There are some chemicals elements in the seed which are poisonous and render the oil not appropriate for human consumption.
It is significant to point out that, the non-edible vegetable oil of jatropha curcas has the requisite potential of providing a promising and commercially viable alternative to diesel oil since it has desirable physicochemical and performance characteristics comparable to diesel. Cars could be run with Jatropha Curcas without requiring much change in design.
The chemical analysis of Jatropha Curcas is given in Table (1).

Cold Pressed PurityJatropha Seed Oil is meticulously extracted via cold pressing, a method that bypasses heat and chemical additives to preserve its natural qualities. This process ensures a purity level of 98%100%, producing oil that retains its beneficial properties and authentic mild odor. Its careful extraction provides a premium product for various applications requiring high-grade vegetable oil.
Robust Physicochemical PropertiesWith a high flash point above 230C and viscosity ranging from 4054 mm/s at 40C, Jatropha Seed Oil is reliably stable and easy to handle in industrial settings. Its moderate saponification value and low acid value make it ideal for biodiesel production, soap making, and cosmetic formulations, delivering consistent performance and safety.
Adaptable Packaging & Shelf LifeCatering to diverse needs, Jatropha Seed Oil is available in volumes from 200 ml to 200 L, facilitating convenience for businesses of all sizes. Its low moisture content and robust packaging preserve freshness throughout a 24-month shelf life, supporting logistics for traders, wholesalers, and suppliers across the Netherlands.
FAQs of Jatropha Seed Oil:
Q: How is Jatropha Seed Oil extracted to ensure high purity?
A: Jatropha Seed Oil is produced through cold pressing, a process that uses mechanical pressure without heat or chemicals. This method safeguards the oils purity (98%100%) by preserving beneficial compounds and maintaining its characteristic mild odor.
Q: What can Jatropha Seed Oil be used for?
A: Jatropha Seed Oil is versatile and commonly used in biodiesel manufacturing, soap production, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants. Its high saponification and iodine values, as well as solubility in organic solvents, make it an excellent choice for various commercial and technical applications.
Q: When should Jatropha Seed Oil be stored and utilized by?
A: The optimal shelf life of Jatropha Seed Oil is 24 months from the date of production. It should be stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight to retain its properties until use.
Q: Where can I purchase Jatropha Seed Oil in the Netherlands?
A: Jatropha Seed Oil is available through a network of dealers, suppliers, exporters, retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers in the Netherlands. Packaging sizes range from 200 ml to 200 L, catering to both small and bulk requirements.
Q: What is the process for ensuring low free fatty acid content in Jatropha Seed Oil?
A: Low free fatty acid (FFA) levels (<2%) are achieved by selecting high-quality seeds and applying cold pressed extraction, which minimizes exposure to moisture and heat, thus preserving the oils chemical integrity and effectiveness.
Q: How is Jatropha Seed Oil beneficial compared to other vegetable oils?
A: Jatropha Seed Oil offers advantages such as a high flash point, robust viscosity, and a balanced iodine value, making it safer and more adaptable for industrial use. Its excellent shelf life and extraction process also ensure superior quality for end-users.
Q: What is the recommended usage for Jatropha Seed Oil in industrial applications?
A: Due to its stability, high purity, and excellent physicochemical profile, Jatropha Seed Oil is suitable for formulations requiring refined vegetable oil, including biodiesel blends, soaps, and personal care products.
