  • How to determine the oil content of Jatropha seeds from Ethiopia?
  • In this paper, the oil contents of thirteen different jatropha seed collections from Ethiopia were determined with Soxhlet extraction, using hexane as solvent. Cotton and thimble were used as filter for the extractions. The properties of Chali and mixed oils and the calorific values of the selected de-oiled seed residues were also determined.
  • Can n-hexane be used to extract oil from Jatropha seeds?
  • For instance, extraction of oil from jatropha seeds using n-hexane as solvent results in the largest percentage oil yield compared to mechanical and enzymatic extractions. However, using hexane as extraction solvent has negative environment impacts .
  • What percentage of oil is extracted from seed collections from Ethiopia?
  • The maximum (48.29%) and minimum (30.66%) oil extracted from the seed collections from southern Ethiopia were also greater than the maximum (41.51%) and minimum (26.05%) oil obtained from those of the north-central part of the country, respectively.
  • Is bioethanol production viable in Ethiopia?
  • Bioethanol production is viable in Ethiopia; nevertheless, biodiesel production is heavily dependent on feedstock cost and expense . The burden of biodiesel making is that it may compete with the cultivation of traditional crops, jeopardizing the rural community's food security .
  • Which oil extraction method is best for biodiesel production?
  • In their comprehensive reviews on oil extraction techniques and biodiesel production technologies, Atabani et al. indicated that oil extraction using n-hexane method results in the highest oil yield which makes it the most common solvent used.
  • Does thimble extract oil from Jatropha seed collections from southern Ethiopia?
  • The data of oil contents of jatropha seed collections from southern Ethiopia that were extracted by thimble with single thickness and that of Salmene 2 stored at three different temperatures were subjected to the analysis of variance (ANOVA test).
