Comparative study of properties and fatty acid composition of some neat vegetable oils and waste cooking oils

Abstract: Vegetable oils have been used as a feedstock for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) production. The high cost of neat vegetable oil and its impact on food security have necessitated its replacement as a feedstock for FAME by used vegetable oil, also known as waste cooking oil (WCO). This study compares the properties and fatty acid (FA) compositions of samples of neat vegetable oil with those of samples of WCO, collected from restaurants and takeaway outlets at the point of disposal. The samples were subjected to … Show more

“…Distilled pyrolytic oil has a high density and free fatty acid content (0.927 g/cm 3 and 5.6%, respectively) compared to the produced biodiesel (0.884 g/cm 3 and 0.64%, respectively). Thus, the higher the oil sample's unsaturation degree, the higher the density [35,36].…”

“…During the frying process, a portion of triglycerides, of the ester moiety, break down. The degree of such degradation depends on the number of frying cycles, frying time, temperature, and the specific vegetable oil [25]. Moreover, during deep frying, many volatile compounds are generated as a consequence of a combination between high temperature and oxygen, which promotes oxidation processes, and other transformations (e.g., the Maillard process) [26,27].…”

“…Apart from the cost-benefit of using UCO as a feedstock, it is also available and sustainable. Research shows that UCO contributed 17 % and 9 % of the feedstock for the production of 11.92 million tons and 26.62 million tons of renewable energy globally in 2015 [49].…”
