Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production through the use of different sources and characterization of oils and their esters as the substitute of diesel: A review
S. P. Singh,Dipti Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the source of production and characterization of vegetable oils and their methyl ester as the substitute of the petroleum fuel and future possibilities of Biodiesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the current state of biodiesel production using enzymatic transesterification
TL;DR: This review presents a critical analysis of the current status of research in enzymatic biodiesel production and accentuates the main obstacles to the widespread use of enzymes for commercial biodiesel transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of biodiesel from crude oil of Pongamia pinnata.
Sanjib Kumar Karmee,Anju Chadha +1 more
TL;DR: Important fuel properties of methyl esters of Pongamia oil (Biodiesel) compare well with ASTM and German biodiesel standards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study on lipase-catalyzed transformation of soybean oil for biodiesel production with different acyl acceptors
TL;DR: Methyl acetate, a novel acyl acceptor for biodiesel production, seems very promising for lipase-catalyzed large-scale production of biodiesel, and the by-product triacetylglycerol is an important chemical with a higher value than glycerol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic production of biodiesel from cotton seed oil using t-butanol as a solvent
TL;DR: It was found, using a batch system, that enzyme inhibition caused by undissolved methanol was eliminated by adding t-butanol to the reaction medium, which also gave a noticeable increase of reaction rate and ester yield.

Conversion of vegetable oil to biodiesel using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase
Yuji Shimada,Yomi Watanabe,Taichi Samukawa,Akio Sugihara,Hideo Noda,Hideki Fukuda,Yoshio Tominaga +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempted continuous methanolysis of vegetable oil by an enzymatic process, which was conducted by adding methanol stepwise to avoid lipase inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipase-catalyzed production of biodiesel
TL;DR: Conditions were established for converting tallow to short-chain alkyl esters at more than 90% conversion and these same conditions also proved effective for transesterfying vegetable oils and high fatty acid-containing feedstocks to their respective alKYl ester derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipase catalyzed alcoholysis of sunflower oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of lipase-catalyzed, nonaqueous alcoholysis of sunflower oil under anhydrous conditions were examined and the overall content of tri-, di- and monoglycerides, as well as the corresponding alkyl esters, was measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the Refining Step of Biodiesel Production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the refining of the product mixture obtained by the transesterification reaction (with an alkali catalyst) of neutralized rapeseed oil (extracted from the seeds of the rape plant cultivated in the Thrace region of Turkey) with methanol.

Immobilized lipase-catalyzed ethanolysis of sunflower oil in a solvent-free medium
Boulbada Selmi,Daniel Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of oil/ethanol molar ratio, temperature, added water content, and amount of enzyme were analyzed for sunflower oil (SFO) with Lipozyme (immobilized 1,3-specific Mucor miehei lipase).
