“…The use of plant species "phorbol ester-free" allows for a great saving of costs in the choice/application of their removal methods (i.e., chemical, physical, biological, or combined processes) [33]. These suggestions can encourage further investigations on plants from Central and South America, as well as other possible uses of J. curcas (e.g., anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antineoplastic, anticholinesterase, antihemorrhagic, and antihypertensive activities) [9,10,34].…”

“…For these reasons, in recent years, the growing interest in this plant has encouraged its cultivation on a large scale and in breeding programs, done to obtain genotypes capable of producingmore secondary metabolites. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anticholinesterase, antihypertensive, and anti-leukemic activities have been also reported [7][8][9][10].…”

Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceaefamily) is a multipurpose plant with considerable potential in biodiesel production, and in cosmetic and medicinal uses. The part of J. curcas usually used is the oil obtained from its seeds, whereas the leaves generally represent the waste material. The aim of this study was to characterize the composition and to preliminary investigate the biological activity ofJ. curcas leaves obtained from plants by a breeding program. To describe genomic structure, molecular markers were applied. For biological study, two genotypes (JA and JB) that are genetically divergent were selected by cluster analysis. A phytochemical analysis was carried out to characterize the chemical composition of the extracts, which resulted rich in biologically active compounds, whereas toxic phorbol esters were absent. Biological assays showed an antiproliferative effect on the Buffalo normal rat liver cell line (BRL-3A), with genotype B being more potent than that of the counterpart (JA).The purified compounds isolated did not show antiproliferative activity, suggesting that the effect observed was due to the phytocomplex and should involve several secondary metabolites. This study highlights that a plant of the same genus and same species that has been cultivated in the same soil and climatic conditions can be characterized by a high variability. This is what makes research in pharmacognosya complex process.

Using Biofuels for Highly Renewable Electricity Systems: A Case Study of the Jatropha curcas

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recent movements for the decarbonization of the electricity sector have become a priority for many countries around the world and will inevitably lead to the sharp decline of fossil-fuel-based energy. Energy from fossil fuels is to be replaced by renewable energy sources (RES), although the transition will neither be cheap nor smooth. One sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels and which will take a considerable share in the increasing supply of renewable energy resources is biofuels. There are various types of biofuels used in practice; however, biodiesels represent one of the most popular and widespread ones. This paper focuses as a case study on the byproducts of Jatropha curcas, a crop and a plant that is already used for biofuel production and which is subsequently employed in electricity generation in Jatropha curcas producing regions. This paper identifies the limitations and prospects of Jatropha curcas utilization. Also, Jatropha curcas is compared to other materials suitable for biomass generation. An economic analysis for a 2 MW biofuel powerplant was conducted incorporating various market-related risks. The study shows that at current prices, net profitability can be achieved using Jatropha curcas byproducts for producing electricity.

“…El uso de diferentes partes de la planta ha sido estudiado ampliamente por su potencial medicinal (Oyedeji et al, 2018;Yaro et al, 2018;Islam, Islam & Hossain, 2017;De Almeida et al, 2016), sin embargo, existen pocos estudios de su aplicación como biocombustible. Al ser ésta una especie vegetal perteneciente a la familia Euphorbiaceae, que crece de forma silvestre distribuida entre las regiones tropicales y subtropicales de América, que posee propiedades medicinales, ha sido ampliamente estudiada y documenta, sobre todo por el uso de los extractos de sus hojas, tallos y raíces para el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades (Wu et al, 2019;Xavier-Santos et al, 2018;De Almeida et al, 2015;Félix-Silva et al, 2014), así como para uso comercial como colorante para el teñido de algodón (Kumar & Singh, 2012), sin embargo, las propiedades y usos del aceite extraído de las semillas no ha sido tomado muy en cuenta hasta los momentos, más allá de investigaciones encaminadas a establecer su composición. El aceite ha sido poco estudiado, debido a que es más comercial el aceite de Jatropha curcas, por su potencial para producir biocombustible, mayor rendimiento de aceite, mayor distribución geográfica y mejoras genéticas que se le han realizado.…”

Asphaltenes are condensed polyaromatic solids that are present in oil forming colloidal suspensions in a thermodynamic system that in some cases tends to be unstable producing flocculation and aggregation. In the oil industry, dispersant chemical compounds are used to minimize the flocculation of asphaltenes to avoid clogging problems in pipes and production equipment, which represent an important investment since they are formulated with synthetic resins and oils, in addition to expensive solvents. This research evaluates the use of Jatropha gossypifolia oil as an active stabilizing component of asphaltenes, mixed with diesel as a solvent in laboratory level tests. Five dilutions of oil in diesel (10 to 50%) were evaluated. The procedure consisted of observing the asphaltene aggregates under an optical microscope when applying n-heptane to a crude oil sample from Monagas State, Venezuela, the volume of n-heptane used being the flocculation onset. Successive volumes of each dilution were then applied until the dispersion of the aggregates was achieved, being this volume the point of dispersion. In addition, xylene was used as a standard dispersant to compare the performance of the dissolutions. The tests were performed at two temperatures of 25 and 40 ºC. A factorial statistical design was used with experimental factors dissolution and temperature and dependent variable instability index, with ANOVA analysis and Tukey HSD test with α = 0.05. With the application of the solutions, a greater dispersion of the aggregates was achieved with efficiencies greater than 94% with respect to the dispersion obtained with xylene, being the solution with 40% oil the most efficient. The statistical results showed that stability is dependent on the solution used and independent of the test temperature with a 95% confidence level.
