Biodiesel is a non-petroleum fuel designed to run in a diesel engine. It can be made from a variety of different feedstocks, including virgin vegetable oil, waste cooking oil, and animal fats. The aim of this research was to compare and contrast biodiesel made from fish oil to other more traditional sources. In this paper I examined traditional biodiesel feedstocks available in coastal Alaska. ...

Rice bran oil, non conventional oil was blended with six traditional oils in the ratio of 70:30 and 80:20 for the enhancement of its market acceptability and awareness in consumers regarding its use in cooking. Effect of deep-fat frying on these blends was studied by assessing the changes in percent fat absorption and physicochemical properties during repeated frying process (three times). The ...

Cottonseed oil (CSO) is well known as one of the commercial cooking oils. However, CSO still needs to compete with other edible oils available in market due its small production scale and high processing cost, which makes it a potential candidate feedstock for biodiesel production. To date, transesterification most widely applied technique conversion vegetable biodiesel, glycerol produced by-pr...

As crude oil price reach a new high, the need for developing alternate fuels has become acute. Alternate fuels should be economically attractive in order to compete with currently used fossil fuels. In this work, biodiesel (ethyl ester) was prepared from waste cooking oil collected from a local restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Ethyl alcohol with sodium hydroxide as a catalyst was use...

Vegetable oils rich in PUFAs are widely used daily cooking and food industry, could be utilised by gut microbiota present prebiotic effects. However, unstable high-temperature like frying. In the current study, we aimed to explore influence of thermally oxidised PUFA on microbiota. Two vegetable oils: omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-rich perilla oil or omega-6 linoleic acid-rich sunflower we...

Small-scale plants that produce biodiesel have many social, economic and environmental advantages. Indeed, small significantly contribute to renewable energy production rural development. Communities can use/reuse local raw materials manage independently processes obtain biofuels by essential, simple, flexible cheap tools for self-supply. The review understanding of recent is essential identify...

Biofuels like biodiesel and bioethanol are the latest technologies to meet rising energy demand replace depleting petroleum supplies. Biodiesel, which is made from vegetable oils, can be used diesel fuel. Vegetable oils a sustainable resource with similar content In proposed process, main product reaction biodiesel, whereas by-products consist of glycerol fertilizer. Biodiesel mainly in automot...

The qualitative model for rapidly discriminating the waste oil and four normal edible vegetable oils is developed using near infrared spectroscopy combined with support vector machine (SVM). Principal component analysis (PCA) has been carried out on the base of the combination of spectral pretreatment of vector normalization, first derivation and nine point smoothing, and seven principal compon...
