EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF JACKFRUIT SEED OIL FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION: A GREEN MANAGEMENT OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RESIDUES TO BIOFUEL
In recent years, global energy systems have undergone a transition, with their energy matrices gradually shifting towards more renewable and cleaner sources. Among the various alternative energy sources, biofuels have become the subject of extensive academic research and scientific studies. The aim of this paper is to utilize jackfruit seeds, an agro-industrial residue, to obtain biofuel using the transesterification method. The oil was extracted from the seeds using the Soxhlet Extraction method, with hexane as the solvent.
