Biodiesel production from high FFA rubber seed oil

TL;DR: A two-step transesterification process is developed to convert the high free fatty acids (FFA) oils to its mono-esters in this article, where the important properties of biodiesel such as specific gravity, flash point, cloud point and pour point are found out and compared with that of diesel.
