Rubber seed oil (RSO)-derived from Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) seed cotyledons-is the most reasonable source of vegetable oil for large-scale production of Bio-diesel, if the primary concerns (where the need to avoid feeding our food to cars and engines is the most notorious) are to be eradicated once and for all. Once upon a time, production of Bio-diesel was from any source where the most popular are our own sources of food. Ethanol and Bio-diesel fuel campaigners will not be wrong if they claim that we can pursue Bio-fuels without affecting our food supplies by increasing outputs of cultivated crops. But we were soon to face reality when the prices of food commodities began to increase. It was so tense that Bio-diesel or Ethanol are-in some quarters-associated with increase in price of food. Today Bio-fuel campaign has taken a new dimension. Domestication of seed-bearing plants are being promoted. One of such plants is the once unpopular Jatropha Plant. Large scale investments, sensitization and extension work, are being used to encourage people to take to its cultivation. But it is not Jatropha seed we found more massive when placed on a scale of comparison with the rubber seed. This leads us to the advantages of rubber seed in the production of Bio-diesel.

removal of reactant is not recommended because it is better to carry out separation of products at the end of the reaction. Note: We must state that rubber seed oil is not the only type of vegetable oil with very high FFA content. Palm kernel oil (PKO) is also notorious.
