The fact that Jatropha curcas oil cannot be used for nutritional purposes without
detoxification makes its useful as energy or fuel source, which will improve the domestic
economy and provide job opportunities particularly in rural areas, where mechanical
pressing is currently the most extensively used process to extract oil from seed. In this
context, the main goal of this study is to provide a summary of several studies dealing with
the currently employed oil extraction technologies, the physicochemical properties of biooils
obtained from J. curcas, and the potential uses of Jatropha oil. The aim is to shed light
on the main differences among the four types of oil extraction techniques currently
employed and to highlight their most appropriate applications. If tapped efficaciously,
then these techniques could prove to be extremely helpful in these days of power and
environmental crises.
