Abstract
Jatropha curcas L.
is being analyzed in Argentina as a source of oil for biodiesel production.
That
is why the physical properties of its seed are important in designing and manufacturing equipment
and structures for handling, transporting, processing and storage, and also for assessing its quality.
Two different sources were taken into account: one coming from Paraguay and the other from
Argentina, this last
