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).

FAQs of Wholesale Price Jatropha Seeds available:
Q: How should Jatropha seeds be stored to ensure their longevity?
A: Jatropha seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage prevents moisture absorption and maintains viability for up to one year.
Q: What is the process for using Jatropha seeds in biofuel production?
A: The seeds are first pressed to extract their oil, which contains 30%-40% oil content. This crude oil is then refined and processed to produce biodiesel, widely used as a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels.
Q: When is the best time to plant these Jatropha seeds?
A: For optimal germination, it is recommended to plant Jatropha seeds during the start of the rainy season or after the last frost, ensuring the soil is warm and moist for effective growth.
Q: Where are these Jatropha seeds sourced from?
A: Our Jatropha seeds are sourced from reputable farms in India, ensuring high quality and consistency, and are available for distribution in the Netherlands.
Q: What benefits do these high-quality Jatropha seeds offer?
A: These seeds provide reliable yields due to their high germination rate (80%-90%) and oil content (30%-40%). They support sustainable agriculture, renewable energy initiatives, and meet the needs of various wholesale buyers.
Q: How can one use these seeds for plantation purposes?
A: Since the seeds are raw and untreated, they are ideal for direct planting. Simply sow the seeds in prepared soil, provide adequate moisture, and ensure suitable environmental conditions for best results.
