Non-edible vegetable oils: A critical evaluation of oil extraction, fatty acid compositions, biodiesel production, characteristics, engine performance and emissions production
Abdulaziz Atabani,Arridina Susan Silitonga,Hwai Chyuan Ong,Teuku Meurah Indra Mahlia,Haji Hassan Masjuki,Irfan Anjum Badruddin,H. Fayaz +6 more
TL;DR: The use of non-edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food source as mentioned in this paper, however, edible oils’ feedstock costs are far expensive to be used as fuel.

Performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a variable compression ratio engine using methyl esters of waste cooking oil and diesel blends
K. Muralidharan,D. Vasudevan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of waste cooking oil methyl ester as a biofuel has been established in a single cylinder four stroke variable compression ratio multi fuel engine when fueled with waste cooking oils methyl esters and its 20, 40, 60% and 80% blends with diesel (on a volume basis) are investigated and compared with standard diesel.

A comprehensive review on properties of edible and non-edible vegetable oil-based biodiesel: Composition, specifications and prediction models
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fatty acid (FA) profiles of 28 edible vegetable oils and 40 non-edible vegetable oils were collected and their main specifications including sulfur content, density, viscosity, flash point, cloud point, pour point, cold filter plugging point, cetane number, iodine number, heating value, acid value and carbon residual before and after transesterification (vegetable oil and biodiesel, respectively) were analyzed in detail.
