The research arm of D1 Oils plc (D1), D1 Oils Plant Science, announces Feb. 4 that it has developed and is patenting a process that expels crude biodiesel oil from Jatropha seeds and at the same time purifies the seedcake (meal) left after oil extraction to produce high protein animal feed.
Jatropha is a tropical oilseed tree that produces grain that can be crushed to produce high yields of inedible vegetable oil suitable for refining into biodiesel.
