Malunggay In Lieu Of Diesel?
Scientists in India discovered that Malunggay’s oil’s properties—an iodine number better than that of regular diesel, indicating fuel stability; a cetane number indicating good ignition behavior, and a cold filter plugging point indicating suitability even in winter, can be a possible replacement for diesel.
If this will become a reality, bio fuel production from Malunggay will be so efficient that even it’s residue could be used to feed livestock, or help in fighting malnutrition. Malunggay is rich in nutritive properties, such as beta carotene, and the presence of antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol made it suitable for cheap healthy food.
