Pongamia seeds and Castor bean seeds

PONGAMIA SEEDS :

Pongamia pinnata has been found to be one of the most suitable species in India being widely grown, it is N2-fixing trace, not brought by animals and oil is non-edible. It is tolerant to water logging, saline and alkaline soils, it can withstand harsh climates (medium to high rainfall). It can be planted on degraded lands farmer’s field boundaries, Wastelands / fallow lands and could be grown across the country Pongamia seeds contain 30-40% oil.

The seeds are largely exploited for extraction of non-edible oil commercially known as ‘Karanja oil’, which is well known for its medicinal properties. So far there is no systematic organized collection of seeds. Mixture seeds consist of 95% kernel and are reported to contain about 27.0- 40% oil. The yield of oil is reported to be about 24 to 26.5% if mechanical expellers are used for the recovery of oil from the kernels. The crude oil is yellow orange to brown in color, which deepens on standing. It has a bitter taste, disagreeable odour, and it’s non-edible.

CASTOR SEEDS :

The castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, is a plant species of the Euphorbiaceae and the sole member of the genus Ricinus and of the subtribe Ricininae. Its seed is the castor bean which, despite its name, is not a true bean.

Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 40% and 60% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. They also contain ricin, a poison, which is also present in lower concentrations throughout the plant

we could highlight castor seed, which can be cultivated in most of soils. Research states that the yield could reach 3,000 kg /ha year with genetic improvement and with possible introduction of irrigated cultivation.

Transesterification can occur in different temperatures depending on the type of oil employed. The reaction of castor oil with methanol occurs most satisfactorily at temperatures in the range from 20 to 35 °C.. So Castor is very suitable as Biofuel Crop.
