Chuta (edible Jatropha curcas L.), the newcomer among underutilized crops: a rich source of vegetable oil and protein for human consumption

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Facing the worldwide increasing demand for edible oil and protein and their production deficit in many developing countries, we investigated the nutritional value of chuta (edible Jatropha curcas L.). Chuta is a perennial tropical and subtropical plant that survives in unfavorable environments. Lower inputs are required for chuta cultivation than for other crops. The oil- and protein-rich kernels can be exploited...
