“…The reactor was initially filled with 100 g of crude egusi melon seed oil, which was preheated to the desired temperature before starting the reaction. The reaction was carried out at 60 °C for 1 h with 1 wt% of NaOCH 3 and methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 6:1 [4]. In order to maintain the catalytic activity, a mixture of NaOCH 3 and methanol was freshly prepared to avoid methanol losses and prevent moisture build-up.…”

“…In spite of this, biodiesel production from conventional vegetable oils (soybean, sunflower, safflower, palm, rapeseed etc.) has progressively stressed food uses, price, production and availability of these oils [4]. Consequently, this has ignited the search for additional regional biodiesel raw materials.…”

“…Consequently, this has ignited the search for additional regional biodiesel raw materials. With 350 oil-bearing crops having been identified, recent studies on biodiesel from less common or unconventional oils include Moringa oleifera [4], Michelia champaca and Garcinia indica [5], pumpkin [6], sea mango [7] and desert date [8] oils.…”

Biodiesel's acceptance as a substitute for fossil-derived diesel has grown the world over. However, the food-fuel debate over conventional vegetable oils has rekindled research interest in exploring lesser known and minor oil crops. In this work, egusi melon seed oil was studied for the first time as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Crude egusi melon seed oil was transesterified using sodium methoxide as the catalyst at 60 °C and an oil/methanol ratio of 1:6 to produce its corresponding methyl esters. Egusi melon oil methyl ester (EMOME) yield was 82%. Gas chromatographic analysis of EMOME showed that it was composed mainly of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic esters, which is similar to the profile of sunflower, soybean and safflower oil. All the measured fuel properties of EMOME satisfied both the ASTM D6751 and the EN 14214 biodiesel standards. Fuel properties of EMOME were essentially identical with those of soybean, safflower and sunflower biodiesel. Remarkably, the kinematic viscosity of EMOME was measured to be 3.83 mm 2 /s, a value lower than most biodiesel fuels reported in the literature. The potential of egusi melon seed oil as a biodiesel feedstock is clearly presented in this study. OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2010, 3 608

“…Example of oleaginous, the moringa (Moringaoleifera) belongs to Moringaceae family and can be found in the northeast of India, Africa, Arabia, Asia, Pacific and Caribbean Islands and South America [3,4]. The moringa oil extraction in large scale is difficult and its use in industrial scale is not known, but a study using pilot plant of extraction of moringa oil with carbon dioxide as supercritical fluid is reported in literature [5] and this resource shows itself as alternative to the difficulty of obtaining moringa oil.…”

This research reports the use of cooking oil waste and moringa biodiesel and their blends into mineral diesel and the influence of the storage conditions. The behavior of the blend between moringa and cooking oil waste and biodiesel were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis and the data were used in the determination of the kinetic parameters of the blends as activation energy and pre-exponential factor and the values found were similar to reported in literature for others samples of biodiesel. The quality of the blend between biodiesel and diesel and the influence of storage conditions were evaluated through the determination of the acid value of the samples. The acid value for the samples that contained mineral diesel was virtually constant. The acid values of the samples of biodiesel were not in accordance with Brazilian legislation, but did not affect the quality of the blend with mineral diesel. The average values of activation energy for waste cooking oil and moringa biodiesel were 70.04 ± 2.99 and 53.80 ± 6.83 kJ mol -1 , respectively.

“…Biofuel can be derived from these commodity crops, such as soybean [4], rapeseed oil [5], palm oil, sunflower [6], jathropa [7][8], even from coffee [9]. However, CPO-based biodiesel is the strongest candidates to be developed, because this commodity has a relatively low production cost and has equal performance compared with diesel fuel properties, therefore engine modification is relatively minimum [7,10].…”

The focus of this research is to analyze potential environmental impact in the supply chain of palm oil biodiesel industries. Simple Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is applied to analyze impacts, produced by the three main units in the supply chain of Palm-Oil-based Biodiesel, which are Palm Plantation, CPO mill, and Biodiesel Plant. We developed LCA calculation model using spreadsheet software, used to assess a number of input scenarios to evaluate the best scenario, in variation of: land quality, land area and the rate of clearing, land clearing technique and type of the original land. The biggest potential environmental impact is the contribution to global warming impact which emissions are produced mostly from unit plantation. Although plantation has biggest potential to contribute to environmental impact, it also gives biggest reduction to global warming impact. In general, the biggest environmental impact in the LCA category is climate change, followed by photo-oxidant formation and eutrophication. The biggest impacts in the supply chain are from the plantation, especially when choosing the right technique for land clearing. In addition, due to LCA linearity nature, the scenario that we tested does not change the total accumulative environmental impacts.
