Abstract

Solvent extraction technique was applied for the extraction of plant sterols from jatropha cake. The optimum conditions for the lab scale solid liquid extraction were obtained at temperature at 55 ºC, extraction time of 2 h, ratio of liquid to solid of 6/1 (v/m) and ligroin (30- 60 ºC) as a solvent. Under the optical conditions, the yield of plant sterols was 5.84 %. The plant sterols of Jatropha cake was 0.232 %.
