Pongamia pinnata (karanj seed) is one of the few nitrogen fixing trees (NFTS) to produce seeds containing 30-40% oil. It is often planted as an ornamental and shade tree but now-a-days it is considered as alternative source for Bio- Diesel. This species is commonly called pongam, karanja, or a derivation of these names. Botany : Pongam (Leguminoceae, subfamily Papilionoideae) is a medium sized tr

Niger seeds are small, black, oil-rich seeds from the Ramtil plant. They are crammed with oils which are essential for a healthy well balanced diet. Because Niger is such a fine seed, it should be fed from a Niger Seed feeder, with seed tray to prevent waste.

Sal fat is greenish brown. It has a typical odour. Its fatty acid composition shows C16 (4%), C18 (47%), C18:1 (44%), C18:2 (0.5%) and C20(2.8%). These values are mean values of some samples. The presence of small amounts of the C20 acid, however does not affect the performance of the sal fat fractions as cocoa butter substitute. A recent study of the fatty acid composition revealed the presence o
