Pongamia Feedstock.

Pongamia (Millettia Pinnata, also known as Pongamia Pinnata) is a tree that produces seeds with a high oil content that can be converted into advanced biofuels. Other products and benefits associated with the tree, include high-protein food supplements for livestock, and biochemicals used as raw material for medicine and insecticides.

Pongamia Oil.

The Pongamia oil is derived from crushing the seeds of the Pongamia tree and by converting the seed pod shells and other plant material. The seeds have an oil content of +/-40%. Pongamia oil is a second-generation renewable biofuel that does not compete directly with food.

The major fatty acids in crude pongamia oil are oleic (51%), linoleic (16%), palmitic (11%) and stearic (7%). Pongamia oil extracts exhibit good chemical properties to be be used as biofuel feedstock. Fatty acid methyl ester from Pongamia meet the major specifications of biodiesel standards required by American and European standards organizations.

“Low ILUC” biofuels are defined as those produced from feedstocks that avoid displacement of food and feed crops through improved agricultural practices or through cultivation of areas not previously used for crop production. Doycker has committed to follow the Low ILUC guidelines by only making use of abandoned deforested areas, and to combine the cultivation of Pongamia with the production of specialty food crops.

Pongamia Seedcake.

A high protein meal is produced when oil is extracted from the Pongamia seed. After treatment, this meal can be used as feed supplement for livestock. Another option is to use the meal as high quality fertilizer. The seed cake has 4.28% nitrogen, 0.4% phosphorus and 0.74% potassium, along with useful amounts of trace elements which included 0.19% sulphur.

Karanjin.

Karanjin is extracted from leaves, oil, or the meal, and can be used as a biological insecticide, and as raw material for healthcare products.

Moringa Products.

Moringa oleifera is a multipurpose crop cultivated primarily in tropical and sub-tropical areas. The crop yields seeds with a high oil content and is suitable for human consumption. The Moringa plant is known worldwide for its nutritional and medicinal benefits and industrial uses.

(Organic) Moringa Oil.

The clear, sweet and odourless oil is of excellent quality for cooking or can be used as a lubricant for fine machinery (e.g. watches). The oil has little tendency to deteriorate and is known for its capacity to absorb and retain volatile substances and is therefore valuable for the perfume industry. It is also used as a component of many other cosmetic products, such as soaps, body lotions, facemasks, shower gels and shampoos. It has a particular high level of oleic acid (about 70%, comparable to olive oil), contains about 13% saturated and 82% unsaturated fatty acids, and a free fatty acid content varying between 0.5 – 3%.

Moringa Seedcake.

The press cake obtained as a by-product of the oil extraction process contains a very high level of protein and can therefore also be used as (additional) livestock feed.

Some of these proteins are active cationic polyelectrolytes, which neutralize the colloids in muddy or dirty water since the majority of these colloids have a negative electrical charge. This protein can therefore be used as a non-toxic natural polypeptide for sedimenting mineral particles and organics in the purification of drinking water, for cleaning vegetable oil, or for sedimenting fibers in the juice and beer industries. It works as a primary coagulant as natural bridges are continuously formed between the colloid particles.

The press cake can also be used as a fertilizer, due to its high content of nitrogen.

(Organic) Moringa Powder.

Moringa leaves are an exceptionally good source of vitamins A, B, and C, minerals (in particular iron and calcium), and the sulphur-containing amino acids methionine and cystine. Moringa leaves also acts as a good source of natural antioxidant due to the presence of various types of antioxidant compounds such as ascorbic acid, flavonoids, phenolics and carotenoids. Dried leaf powder can be added to any kind of meal as a nutritional supplement.

Honey Products.

Honey is an excellent source of numerous nutritional ingredients including vitamins, minerals, calcium, and antioxidants. Pongamia is known for producing good quality honey. Our intercropping solution of combining Pongamia with Moringa plants produce a unique honey product.
