Abstract
Studies were carried out to assess seed physico-chemical properties of Jatropha curcas genetic resources. Twenty five seed sources of J. curcas investigated in the current study exhibited wide variation for seed physio-chemical properties. The chemical properties of seed sources indicated superiority of more number of seed sources for iodine value, cetane number and saponification value. Hence the J. curcasgenetic resources tested in this current study could be the potential sources of raw material for biodiesel production.
Key words: Jatropha curcas, iodine number, saponification value.
