Abstract: | Jatropha curcus L. oil has emerged as one of the most important raw materials for biodiesel production. However, no detailed study has been
reported on characterizing the lipid constituents of jatropha oil. The present study revealed that the total oil content of
jatropha seeds was 32% with a composition of 97.6% neutral lipids, 0.95% glycolipids and 1.45% phospholipids. The fatty acid
composition of total lipids, neutral lipids, phospholipids and glycolipids was also determined and found to contain oleic
acid (18:1) and linoleic acids (18:2) as major fatty acids. The phospholipids fraction was further characterized and quantified
and found to contain phosphatidyl choline (PC) 60.5%, phosphatidyl inositol (PI) 24% and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) 15.5%.
The fatty acid composition and the positional distribution of the fatty acids of individual phospholipids were also reported. |
