Abstract

Mango seed oil, used vegetable frying oil, orange seed oil, corn oil and soybean oil were converted into respective methyl esters known as biodiesels. They were prepared in the presence of homogeneous alkaline catalyst. The physicochemical properties such as density, flash point, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, pour point, cetane number, fire point, acid value, pH and percent yield were determined and the value obtained compared with biodiesel standards (ASTM D6751, Enl4213, ANP 42, IS 15607, JASO M360, & SANS 1935). Biodiesels obtainedfrom mango seed oil, used vegetable frying oil, orange seed oil, corn oil and soybean oil methyl esters were of good quality and could be used as dieselfuel.
