PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL BY ENZYMATIC TRANSESTERIFICATION OF NON-EDIBLE SALVADORA PERSICA (PILU) OIL AND CRUDE COCONUT OIL IN A SOLVENT-FREE SYSTEM

Production of biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification of non-edible Salvadora persica (Pilu) oil and crude coconut oil in a solvent-free system

Abstract Background It is becoming imperative to develop renewable fuels such as biodiesel which are sustainable and environmentally friendly.Exploiting non-edible oils is more necessary to reduce dependency of edible oils for biodiesel production.The current study investigated biodiesel production from non-edible Salvadora persica seed oil (SPSO)
