“…Candlenut oil is susceptible to oxidation with temperature, because it contains high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. 141 Additionally, the extracted lipids require multiple purification and separation processes before utilization for biodiesel production. These lipid purification steps increase biofuel production cost and the FFA content in the extracted lipids, thus encouraging low-temperature extraction and separation methods to maintain the fatty acid content and to avoid FFA production.…”

The rapid depletion of diesel fuel, increasing energy demand, and environmental pollution concerns are increasing worldwide interest in the production of liquid biofuels. Biofuel (bio-aviation and biodiesel) is a potential and plausible alternative to diesel fuel to substantially mitigate the environmental impact of future energy demand. Non-edible crop oil is viewed as a potential feedstock for liquid biofuel production owing to the massive demand for edible oil as a food source.However, the major limitation of utilizing non-edible crop oil for biodiesel production is the cost due to the high price of feedstocks and the limited supply of large-scale biodiesel production. Candlenut trees can grow in harsh and arid climates due to low moisture requirements. Therefore, candlenut can be cultivated in the most unused lands, particularly in developing countries along coasts and riverbanks and in deserts and other wastelands unsuitable for edible crops. Additionally, candlenut seed contains a high amount of oil (30%-60%). Thus, candlenut oil is a promising source for commercial biodiesel production. The present study was conducted to review the possibilities and challenges of utilizing candlenut as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Additionally, several important aspects related to candlenut oil processing, such as extraction technology, physicochemical properties, biodiesel production technologies, and advantages and limitations of candlenut biodiesel production are discussed.

“…Antioxidants in candlenut oil are vitamins A and E which cause these compounds to penetrate into the skin so that the skin looks young [4]. Constraints in candlenut oil extraction are the nature of candlenut oil which is unstable at high temperatures and easily oxidized [5] so that the yield and quality of the oil produced is low [6].…”

Candlenut (Aleurites moluccana L) is a native plant of Indonesia and one of the six spices with the highest export value. Candlenut is one of the nutraceutical ingredients, used as raw material for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Candlenut is used as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory and has benefits in healing burns. The result of processed candlenut seeds, namely candlenut oil is rich in omega 3 unsaturated fatty acids which are anti-aging and strengthen and repair hair exposed to radiation. The problem faced in producing candlenut oil is the low yield and quality of the oil which is indicated by the brownish color of the oil and the long extraction time. This study aims to study increasing the yield of candlenut oil through the application of solvent extraction and microwave assisted extraction (MAE) methods and to identify the composition of the chemical compounds produced. The raw material used in producing this candlenut oil is candlenut seeds from the protected forest area of Register 21 PerentianBaru, Pringsewu Regency, Lampung Province. This research method is an experimental design with a completely randomized design. The independent variables in this study were the ratio of the sample to the amount of solvent with a level of 1;1; 1:2; 1:3 and 1:4. The observed responses were the yield, density and chemical composition of candlenut oil. The MAE method produced the highest yield of 38,5% in the ratio of the sample to the amount of solvent 1:2 with the characteristics of the oil produced, among others, a density of 0, 864 g/ml and a refractive index of 1,4772. The GCMS results show that the chemical compounds that make up candlenut oil include 31,1% linoleic acid, 27,85% oleic acid, 25,19% linolenic acid and 4,54% palmitic acid.
