Abstract/Description: | Karanj is a medium sized tree. Native to humid and subtropical environments, mature trees can withstand water logging and slight frost. A thick yellow-orange to brown oil is extracted from seeds. The oil has a bitter taste and a disagreeable aroma, thus it is considered as non- edible oil. In India, the oil is used as a fuel for cooking and burning of lamps. The oil is also used as a lubricant, water-paint binder, pesticide, and in soap making and tanning industries. Seeds of Karanj have about 30-35 percent oil and upto 27-28 percent oil can be expressed in crusher and most of the physical and chemical properties of the oil are almost similar to those of the diesel. Thirty seed sources of Pongamia pinnata were collected from Different Agro Climatic Region of Tamilnadu. Tree height varied from 5.48 m to 7.19 m and DBH also varied significantly among all CPTs. Crown diameter varied from 5.30 m to 6.96 m. The seed oil content varied from 38.70 to 41.54 percent was recorded. These seed sources can be further screened for tree improvement traits considering their immense value in yielding bio diesel. |
