“…Jatropha feedstock with the wide geographic range emerges as one of the prime choices for biodiesel production. The plant prefers well-drained soils with good aeration [49] and is well adapted to marginal soils with low nutrient content. Its cultivation in poor non-arable lands can prevent soil erosion.…”

In recent years, high volatility in oil prices and global climate change led to an increased interest in biofuel production to reduce dependency on foreign fossil fuel. Domestically produced plant feedstocks are environmentally friendly renewable substitutes for fossil-derived fuel and are expected to stabilize fuel prices. Plant-derived energy can offer rural development and other environmental, social and energy security benefits for local societies. Crops, grasses, trees, forest-residues and aquatic plants, all can be used as potential biofuel feedstocks. To meet the increased global and regional demand for bioenergy, evaluation and improvement of current and emergent plant feedstocks is urgently needed to reduce the cost of the resulting biofuels.

“…Its name derives from the Greek words "Jatros" (doctor) and "trophe" (food) which translates its medicinal traditional use. 1 Such medicinal use is reported in diverse consumption of different parts of J. curcas, some of them through infusions for various conditions such as fever, burn, rheumatism, allergies, diarrhea, intestinal cramping, healing, dysentery, parasitic infections, etc. 2,3 Thus J. curcas seeds have acquired importance for its extra-medicinal properties 4 and its use in native communities for some conditions as arthritis, gout, jaundice, convulsions, constipation, diarrhea, fever and inflammation.…”

Introduction: Jatropha curcas L. seeds are used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of diseases or conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects on inflammation and the nervous system of ethanol extract of J. curcas seeds. Materials and methods: It was used 64 mice divided in 8 groups; respectively, 4 groups received 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mg/kg of ethanol extract of J. curcas seed; and the rest intake Diclofenac, Diazepam, Caffeine and a control group not received any substance. The effects on inflammation was evaluated by Carrageenan-Induced paw oedema test and by Paw skin temperature. Neurological symptoms of toxicity were evaluated using the Irwin test. For the analysis of quantitative variables were used the following tests: one-way ANOVA, Tukey, Shapiro-Wilk and Pearson correlation; for qualitative variables Chi square was used. Results: According to the paw oedema, it was showed a trend on an inflammatory effect of the seeds of J. curcas; this activity was statistically significant in doses of 1000 mg/kg. Also, the skin temperature measurements out-

“…But during biodiesel production from 100 kgs of Jatropha seed only 30 kgs of oil is extracted while 70 kgs of de-oiled cake is generated as a byproduct [8]. This cake has been tried as a fertilizer and the results were quite encouraging [9]. Some workers have quoted this cake used as a substrate for biogas production [10] and wherein it is reported that Jatropha cake were admixed with buffalo dung gave more gas production with methane content of 71.74%.…”

World is facing acute energy crisis. Attention is being directed towards other unconventional sources of energy. Recently more attempts are being made to produce biodiesel as an alternative source of ecofriendly energy using biomass of plant origin. One such biomass is Jatropha curcas. But during biodiesel production from 100 kgs of Jatropha seed only 30% of oil is extracted while 70% of de-oiled cake is generated as a byproduct. Based on this fact work on enhancement of biogas by Jatropha amendment was studies in detail and studies showed that 20% amendment of Jatropha oil cake seems optimum with respect to gas production and volatile solids reduction. It is preferable to run the digester with optimal addition because addition of higher volume of Jatropha may pose a problem and may be rate limiting factor.
