“…This method of oil extraction does not extract all the oil available in seeds. Jatropha seed oil and seed cake from all the three investigated geographical locations in Botswana are toxic since their PE content is way above the threshold reported by Kumar et al [17] of 0.05 mg/g; these authors distinguish between the toxic and non-toxic Jatropha genotypes. The toxicity level varies with fruit maturity stage.…”

“…Both the toxic and non-toxic Jatropha seeds contain high oil content. According to Kumar et al [17], non-toxic Jatropha are those that contain PEs less than 0.05 mg/g whereas toxic Jatropha contains PEs of quantity 0.05 mg/g or more. Even though there is considerable research on the toxicity of Jatropha, information on variation of these phorbol esters with fruit maturity is still unknown.…”

The current study investigates the influence of fruit maturity on Phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate content in Jatropha seed oil as well as seed cake. Jatropha fruits used in this study were harvested from three different geographical locations in Botswana at four different fruit maturity stages, namely green yellow, yellow, yellow brown and brown dry. Phorbol esters in Jatropha seed oil and seed cake were quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Results from this study reveal that phorbol ester content in Jatropha seeds varies with fruit maturity stage. Phorbol ester content in Jatropha seed oil and seed cake from yellow brown fruits had the highest value, hence was the most toxic. Phorbol-12myristate 13-acetate content in Jatropha seed oil ranges from 3.4 to 4.2 mg/g whereas in seed cake it ranges from 1.7 to 2.0 mg/g during the four different fruit maturity stages investigated. Influence of geographical location on Phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate content in Jatropha seeds is insignificant.
