Reactive Extraction For The Synthesis Of Fame/Faee From Jatropha Curcas L. Seeds

Owing to the non-edible nature and suitability for cultivation in local tropical climate in Malaysia, Jatropha oil (Jatropha curcas) is believed to be a potential oil source for biodiesel production after palm oil. Biodiesel from Jatropha curcas L. seed is conventionally produced via two steps meth...
