Abstract
Preservation of Calotropis procera (Ait.) R.Br. latex was studied in t erms of changes in pH, colour and the extent of coagulation on using v arious preservatives. In addition, a comparison of synthetic and natur al coagulating agents was made for coagulation of C. procera latex for biocrude production. Natural coagulant (bark extract) was found to be better than synthetic coagulants. A quick light-scattering technique was developed to study the extent of coagulation and the yield of bioc rude.
