Abstract
The non-edible seed oil of Jatropha curcas is gaining so much popularity in its usage as alternative fuel and in biodiesel production. Jatropha seed oil extraction is an inevitable unit operation process prior to its usage in biodiesel production, soap making, candle making and other uses. Oil of Jatropha seeds have been extracted by mechanical method with a hydraulic press and also by solvent extraction using n-hexane as a solvent. The percentage yield of oil obtained by hydraulic press is 34.5% while that with solvent extraction is 44.313%. The physical and chemical properties of the oil are also highlighted
