Antifungal activities of ethanolic extract from Jatropha curcas seed cake

Abstract: Phorbol ester extraction was carried out from Jatropha curcas seed cake, a by-product from the biodiesel fuel industry. Four repeated extractions from 5 g of J. curcas seed cake using 15 ml of 90% (v/v) ethanol and a shaking speed of 150 rpm gave the highest yield of phorbol esters. The ethanolic extract of J. curcas seed cake showed antifungal activities against important fungal phytopathogens: Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium aphanidermatum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium semitectum, Collet… Show more

“…There are several local plant species whose extracts have proved effective in protecting yam produce before and after harvest. Neem plant (Azadiractha indica), black pepper (Piper nigrum), ginger plant (Zingiber officinale), Jatropha curcas, false yam (Icacuna oliviformis) are examples of numerous plants that can be used as surface protectants on yam tuber (Amusa et al, 2003;Saetae & Suntornsuk, 2010;Sowley et al, 2013). Some yam species such as D. piscatorum have toxic properties that allow them to be used in the production of insecticides.…”
