Physicochemical characterization of Jatropha podagrica seed oil for potential biodiesel production and other industrial applications in Thailand

Jatropha is considered as one of the most promising potential oil sources for biodiesel production and other industrial applications. However, research on the potential of Jatropha seed oil is mainly focused on Jatropha curcas, with other species receiving little attention. The physicochemical p...
