Methyl ester of peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) seed oil as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production

Seed Oil from Ten Algerian Peanut Landraces for Edible Use and Biodiesel Production

“…As far as the IV is concerned, the oil from AD Central Sahara was the best among the studied group of peanut landraces, with an IV as low as 90.70. All the peanut oils studied in the present work showed an IV well below the 123.22 figure found in Turkish peanut oil 36 .…”

Lipids, proteins, phenolic composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of seeds of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea l) cultivated in Tunisia

“…Potential effects of linoleic acid on health include anticarcinogenic, antiatherogenic and antidiabetogenic modulating properties; it has also attracted interest in the scientifi c community because of its potential eff ects on body composition, reducing body fat mass and increasing lean mass (Hernandez-Dıaz et al, 2010). To enhance peanut seed oil, it was investigated as an alternative source for the production of a biodiesel fuel (Kaya and et al, 2009). The maximum oil to ester conversion was 89% and the viscosity of biodiesel oil is nearer to that of petroleum diesel; the calorifi c value is about 6% less than that of diesel.…”

“…Peanuts, known in Tunisia as "cacawya", are mainly cultivated in the Cap Bon region (NE Tunisia) as well as in Nefza (NW) and Kairouan (Center) (Bornat, 2006). Compared to other oleaginous seeds, peanut seeds have a low amount of phospholipids (0.65 to 1.35%), 0.8% unsaponifi able (Yoshida et al, 2005), and 44 to 56% oil with a fatty acid composition mainly represented by oleic (37.94 to 41.90%), linoleic (34.59 to 37.51%), palmitic (12.22 to 13.30%), stearic (3.17 to 3.67%) and arachidic (1.63 to 1.85%) acids (Berry, 1982;Kaya et al, 2009). The total fatty acid composition was 10.44% and 33.51% for saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, respectively; the most abundant fatty acids of groundnut seed oil were oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2) and palmitic (C 16:0), which together composed about 88.35% of the total fatty acids (Ingale and Shrivastava, 2011).…”

Study of Performance and Emission Analysis of Dual Biodiesel Fuelled on LHR Diesel Engine Supported by EGR System

“…One efficient and most commonly used method for extracting biodiesel from vegetable oil is transesterificaton process [4,5]. Transesterification of vegetable oil was conducted in 1853 by scientists E. Duffy and J. Patrick even before the diesel engine became functional [1].…”
