ABSTRACT
The
seed of Jatropha curcas was collected from
the outskirts region of the Bardoli (Gujarat) and it was utilized for
determination of seed characterization. The Jatropha curcas oil was
extracted using light petroleum ether (60-80°C) by Soxhlet apparatus. The
physicochemical properties of Jatropha curcas oil were evaluated. The
result showed that the seeds consist of 46.31% (dry w/w) oil, moisture and
volatilities (5.8% v/w) and protein content (22.50%). The physicochemical
properties shows acid value (36.46), iodine value (106.00 mg/g) and
saponification value (194.70 mg/g). The unsaponifiable matter was 1.02%.
Negative Halphen test indicated the absence of cyclopropanoid acids in seed
oil. GC analysis of J. curcas oil showed presence of palmitic acid
(16.69%), stearic acid (7.67%), oleic acid (40. 39%) and linoleic acid
(33.09%).
Keywords: Jatropha curcas; oil characterisation;

ABSTRAK
Biji Jatropha curcas telah dikumpulkan dari kawasan
luar Bardoli (Gujarat) dan telah dicirikan. Minyak Jatropha curcas telah
diekstrak menggunakan eter petroleum ringan (60-80oC)
dan alat Soxhlet. Sifat fizikokimia minyak Jatropha
curcas telah dinilai. Keputusan menunjukkan biji tersebut mengandungi 46.31%
(w/w kering) minyak, kelembapan dan kemeruapan (5.8% v/w) dan protein (22.50%).
Sifat fizikokimia menunjukkan nilai asid (36.46), nilai iodin (106.00 mg/g) dan
nilai saponifikasi (194.70 mg/g). Jirim yang tak tersaponifikasi ialah 1.02%.
Ujian Halphen negatif menunjukkan ketidakhadiran asid siklopropanoid di dalam
minyqk biji ini. Analisis GC minyak J. curcas menunjukkan kewujudan asid
palmitik (16.99%), asid steanik (7.67%), asid oleik (40.39%) dan asid linolik
(33.09%).
