Jatropha curcas (J. curcas) currently is the best candidate as the raw material for producing biodiesel since it contains lots of oil of approximately 60%.
But the Jatropha oil produced contains the toxic components of phorbolesters that act a cancer promoter. Nowadays, the solution for solving this problems by various physical and chemical means is investigating all over the world.
Sunlight(UV?)Ultrasonic waveGamma-ray
Atmospheric pressure plasma is also found to provide reactive free radicals to convert the phorbol ester into original phorbol. We now start measurement radical concentration in the solution to study the mechanism of degradation and to compare the efficiency of degradation methods.

Conclusion
• By using UV Chromatogram, degradation of Phorbol ester with atmospheric plasma and is confirmed.
• Concentration of hydroxyl radicals (OH) is estimated with KI-colorimetric method, of which result does not contradict with Prof. Kanazawa's work with the similar plasma device and different measurement method.
Future works• Test using PE with much simpler structure
to study degradation mechanism
• Control plasma parameters and study the relation between OH concentration and degradation effect
• Direct confirm of detoxification with biological manners, not merely disappear of Phorbol Ester
Appendix
Why is J. curcas used for biodiesel production if it contains PEs?
Oil yield: Jatropha vs other seed crops.
Sources: http://www.infinitysource.com/projects/jatropha.shtml , accessed 26-05-2012
• Jatropha give very highest oil production and it is non-edible oil.
• Detrimental impact on food industries could be solved.
How much are PEs present in J. curcas seed oil?
The amounts of PEs present in J. curcas seed oil vary from its source (approx. 0.01-1.58%).

What are the new methods proposed to do?
According to literature review, the degradations of PEs are based on the conventional and advance oxidative processes (AOP) such as • combination with chemical and heat treatment, • biological oxidation using microbes, • the combination of Aeration and heat treatment, • the combination of chemical and Ozonation or -irradiation.
New methods are based on AOP• Ultrasound irradiation: Sonolytic degradation• Cold Plasma irradiation• -ray irradiation: -Radiolytic degradation of
PEs.• The first two methods have not been studies by any author on the degradation of Jatropha PEs.• Even though -irradiation method has been used for degradation of PEs in the J. curcas seed cake, there is
not any work on the degradation of PEs in liquid media such as in oil or other solvents as well as in water.

Basic PrincipleUltrasonic irradiation (US) γ-ray radiation (γ-ray)
• produces strong cavitation in aqueous solution:• shock wave. • reactive free radicals (e.g., •OH, HO2•, and O•) by violent collapse of the cavitation bubble.• formation of H2O2.
• in aqueous solution, it generates: • hydrated electrons, hydrogen atoms, and • hydroxyl radicals as initial radical species.• hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are
formed by their recombination reactions.
The decomposition of toxic chemicals should be contributed by these effects.
