Jackfruit as oil
Oil price hike is one of the major problems in the country. To get rid of this problem, the researchers tried to increase the sources of oil to lower its price.
The researchers used Jackfruit seeds as alternative source of oil. It is because jackfruit was available in the market. It also has the properties and substances oil has. The researchers gathered the seeds and extracted liquid from it, and it was heated. After 5 minutes, the researchers removed it from heat. The materials used are Jackfruit seeds, grater, fine cloth, basin, stove, pan and mortar and pestle. The product produce was more viscous than commercial oil and less transparent.
The researchers recommend the use of plant oils like oil from Jackfruit seeds because plant oils are healthier. According to the researchers, Jackfruit seeds are a potential source of oil. One of the important uses of plants in the production of oil. Oil is a very important resource, much in demand everywhere in the world and is used in a variety of ways. The sources of oils and fats are very limited, this means therefore that there is a growing need for the search of new sources of oil. In fact, it is about half of the oil we use us imported, and our dependence will increase as we use up oil for domestic and transportation. This study is an important way to help lessen oil importation. Jackfruit seeds will be used as an alternative source of oil. Jackfruit is locally available in the market. It is an indigenous fruit tree us wisely distributed throughout many tropical countries, including the Philippines, both cultivated and wild. It also has the properties and substances good oil has. The major components of the seeds are 36.4% carbohydrate that can be hydrolyzed to fermentable sugars before transforming into ethanol, and 56.5% moisture that provide good growth of microorganisms and save water material used in the fermentation process. This shows that jackfruit seeds are an appropriate feedstock for ethanol production. And

    People are trying to reduce the consumption level of expensive products due to their low disposable income and limited purchasing power. Especially, the people of middle class income level are trying to find substitute energy resources of oil and gas due to hike in oil and gas price (Shelley 27). Apart from economic issues, the global oil and gas exploration and production industry is suffering from several global political issues. Several under developed and developing countries have to pay high petroleum tax to the oil and gas producing countries in order to improve the crude oil. High tension and critical political conflicts between several countries are affecting the growth of this global oil and gas exploration and production industry. In addition to these, several countries have developed strict regulations regarding the extraction of oil and gas. Extraction of oil and gas from oil mine requires the uses of several deadly chemicals. It can affect the global ecological balance. Looking into this issue, the government of several countries developed strict rules and regulations regarding the extraction of oil. It is expected that the number of total oil reservoirs and mines can be decreased due to these issues and challenges. Government of United States provides a huge public subsidy to the oil and gas companies (Odell 49). Moreover, the government of United States provides…

    Jackfruit, Artocarpus Heterophyllus, is said to originate from the Western Ghats although no one is definite on this. It grows in rain forests and along low-elevations through out India, Burma, Ceylon, Southern China, Malaya, some small parts of Australia and the East Indies. It was introduced into Florida in approximately 1887 but few trees now remain. The jackfruit comes from a very large and bushy tree, which is also used for shade, and can range from 30-70 tall with glossy, green, leathery leaves. The fruit is the largest tree borne fruit and can range from 8 inches to 3 feet in length and 6-20 inches wide. These fruits can weigh anywhere from 10-60 and have been reported up to almost 200 pounds. The fruit is yellowish green in appearance and has numerous cone points on its skin. The fruit is suspected to taste like juicy fruit gum, bananas and nectarines combined. The seeds can vary from ¾ to 1 ½ inches in length and there can be anywhere from 100 to 500 seeds in a single fruit. A milky white latex rubber surrounds all of the seeds. Jackfruit only come in only two varieties but the names very from area to area the basic types are "Khuja" which is green, hard and smooth, with juicy pulp and small seeds and "Ghila" which is rough, soft, has thin pulp, isn't very juicy, and has large seeds. This fruit has very picky growing conditions which are only in tropical or near-tropical climates which require a very hot, humid, and wet weather constantly. The soil this plant needs must be rich, deep soil of medium or open texture. The tree cannot stand wet feet and if the roots touch water it may not bear fruit or may die. The temperature must be a constant 75 degrees or up and must have a humidity of at least 85%. This plant produces its fruit by normaly wind pollination or by human hand. This plant has both male and female parts to it, males' form in oblong clusters on the tree while female clusters are rounded. This fruit is germinated for up to 3-8 weeks…

    Biodiesel: Technology & Business Opportunities – An Insight S Biswas, N Kaushik & G Srikanth Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi – 110 016 Tel: +91-11 -2686 3816, Fax: 2696 1158, e-mail : biswas@nic.in The concept of bio fuel dates back to 1885 when Dr. Rudolf Diesel built the first diesel engine with the full intention of running it on vegetative source. In 1912 he observed, " … the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today. But such oils may in the course of time become as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of present time." In 1970, scientists discovered that the viscosity of vegetable oils could be reduced by a simple chemical process and that it could perform as diesel fuel in modern engine. Since then the technical developments have come a long way and the plant oil today has been highly established as bio fuel, equivalent to diesel. Recent environmental (e.g. Kyoto Protocol) and economic concerns have prompted resurgence in the use of biodiesel throughout the world. In 1991, the European Community proposed a 90% tax reduction for the use of bio fuels, including biodiesel. Today 21 countries worldwide produce biodiesel. India is one of the largest petroleum consuming and importing countries. India imports about 70 % of its petroleum demands. The current yearly consumption of diesel oil in India is approximately 40 million tones constituting about 40% of the total petro-product consumption. 2.0 Why Biodiesel? Biodiesel, derived from the oils and fats of plants like sunflower, rape seeds, Canola or Jatropha Curcas, can be used as a substitute or an additive to diesel. As an alternative fuel biodiesel can provide power similar to conventional diesel fuel and thus can be used in diesel engines. Biodiesel is a renewable liquid fuel that can be produced locally thus helping reduce the country’s dependence on imported crude. 2.1 The advantages of…

    Oil: Oils are esters of glycerol and fatty acid. In other words, oils are tri-glycerol ester of fatty acid. Hence ester of glycerol is known as glycerides and fatty acids both are saturated and unsaturated. Oils are liquid at ordinary temperature. Example: Rice bran oil, Coconut oil, Soybean oil, palm oil. Etc. Fats: Fats are same as oil, i.e. Fats are esters of glycerol and fatty acid, except that fat is solid at ordinary temperature. The melting point above 20°C. Example: Butter, Tallow, Lard etc. Waxes: Waxes are esters of long chain fatty acid. Usually contain 24-28 carbon atoms with long chain primary alcohol containing 16-36 carbon atoms or with alcohol of the steroid group. Waxes are non crystalline. Example: Bees wax, Carnauba wax, opal wax. Etc. Properties of oil: 1. At room temperature oils liquid. 2. Oils contains large proportion of unsaturated fatty acid. 3. Oils are insoluble in water but readily soluble in Hexane, ether, benzene, Carbon tetra chloride, etc. 4. Oils are easily hydrogenated like alkenes. 5. Oils react with Iodine, chlorine in aqueous alcoholic solution to form iodo-chloro derivatives. Terms related Definitions: Iodine value: Iodine value may be defined as the number of gm of Iodine that will add across the Carboncarbon double bond in hundred (100) gm of the fats or oils. Or simply the amount of iodine (in gm) absorbed by 100gm of fat. Significance: Iodine value is a measure of the extent of un saturation in fats or oils. The greater the number of double bond more iodine is required to break this bonds.ie. Iodine value is more. For example Oleic acid has one (C=C) double bond and it iodine value is 85whereas Linoleic acid contain two (C=C) double bond has iodine value is 181. Iodine value of Rica bran oil is 99-108. If Iodine value is below 90 then it is called non drying oil, If iodine value is above 90 and below 140 then it is called semi drying oil and if iodine value is above 140 then it…
