TLDR
In this paper, the authors compared the results obtained for the iodine values of a wide range of fats and oils when using the published standardised method (which specifies the use of carbon tetrachloride) with results obtained when using a mixture of cyclohexane and glacial acetic acid.Abstract:
This report outlines the study protocols and compares the results obtained for the iodine values of a wide range of fats and oils when using the published standardised method (which specifies the use of carbon tetrachloride) with the results obtained when using a mixture of cyclohexane and glacial acetic acid The values reported for the iodine values indicate that the latter solvent system can be recommended for use in place of carbon tetrachloride in the determination of iodine value without loss of precisionread more

A review on the oxidation stability of biodiesel
Zahira Yaakob,Binitha N. Narayanan,Silija Padikkaparambil,Silija Padikkaparambil,K. Surya Unni,P. Mohammed Akbar,P. Mohammed Akbar +6 more
TL;DR: An overview of the factors affecting the oxidation stability of biodiesel and the methods available for the prediction of oxidation stability is also discussed in this paper, where the effect of antioxidants in preventing the oxidation of Biodiesel is discussed.

Molecular iodine/polymer complexes
TL;DR: A plethora of natural and synthetic polymers develop complexes when treated with molecular iodine, or with a mixture of molecular iodine and potassium iodide, with polyiodides (In¯), mainly I3¯ and I5¯, as the actual binding species as discussed by the authors.

High quality biodiesel from yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana) seed oil.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a heterogeneous catalyst derived from the trunk of Musa balbisiana Colla (one variety of banana plant) seed oil to convert 96 wt.% of the oil to biodiesel.

Lipid quality of the diatoms Skeletonema costatum and Navicula gregaria from the South Atlantic Coast (Argentina): evaluation of its suitability as biodiesel feedstock
Cecilia A. Popovich,Cecilia A. Popovich,Cecilia Damiani,Diana Teresita Constenla,Patricia Ines Leonardi,Patricia Ines Leonardi +5 more
TL;DR: The lipid quality analysed in both estuarine species suggests that a biodiesel derived from these oils may present an acceptable cetane number, but likely poor cold-flow properties.
