Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Degumming, alkali refining, bleaching and quality of five genotypes of Jatropha curcas seed oils
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Duhan, Anil; Khabiruddin, Mohammad
    Jatropha curcas can be considered as major non-traditional oil yielding crop, which can grow in adverse climatic conditions. Its seed oil has high commercial importance because of its use as biofuel. Being having good nutritional profile, its oil and defatted seed cake can also be used for edible purpose, after removal of toxic constituents. Before and after refining, different physico-chemical parameters i.e. oil yield, free fatty acid, iodine value, peroxide value, carotenoids value, saponification value, unsaponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, protein in defatted cake and lecithin in oils of five genotypes viz. Hansraj, Urly Kanchan, SKN (Big), Chattarpati and JH-1 (Hisar local) of J. curcas were examined and compared with edible oils of soybean (var. PK-416), sunflower (var. HSFH-848) and groundnut (var. MH-4). It was observed that after refining, different physico-chemical parameters of the various genotypes of J. curcas oils were improved and found comparable with the changes in soybean, sunflower and groundnut oils. The result shows that the refined J. curcas oil have comparable edible utility with that of soybean, sunflower and groundnut oils, but have high potential to be use as biofuel in comparision to soybean, sunflower and groundnut oils.
