“…The detail fatty acid composition of the edible plant oils can be seen in Table 3 [5,18,19,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] and those for the non-edible plant oils are depicted in Table 4 [15,27,28,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

“…(3) This homogeneous mixture of methyl alcohol and catalyst KOH was mixed with 150 g safflower oil. (4) The conical flask containing the mixture of oil, alcohol and catalyst was heated at a constant temperature of 50-60°C (Patrascoiu et al 2013;Meka et al 2007;Duz et al 2011) and stirred at the same time simultaneously inside a water bath shaker at about 700 rev/min for 60 min, 75 min and 90 min, respectively. (5) After completion of the reaction time, the products were poured into a separating funnel and kept 1-2 h for separation of phases (Ilkilic et al 2011).…”

Biodiesel is an alternative renewable fuel which is produced by using biomass resources. Its physicochemical properties are close to those of the petroleum diesel fuel. This study highlights biodiesel production from safflower seed oil. The main aim of this experimental work is to optimize the process parameters, namely the methanolto-oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature for biodiesel production. The Taguchi robust design approach was used with an L9 orthogonal array to analyze the influence of process factors on performance parameters. The results showed that the optimum yield of biodiesel was 93.8% with viscosity 5.60 cSt, with a methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 4:1, catalyst concentration of 1.5 wt%, reaction time of 90 min and reaction temperature of 60°C. The catalyst concentration was found to be the most influencing parameter which contributed 51.1% and 50.8% of the total effect on the yield of biodiesel, Y 1 , and viscosity of biodiesel, Y 2 , respectively.

“…In the past few years, many countries have undertaken several initiatives to encourage farmers in arid lands to grow unconventional seed oil crops for biodiesel feedstock that does not compromise food security (Mulugetta, 2009;Biswas and Pohit, 2013;Mihaela et al, 2013), with the objective of decreasing the high cost of biodiesel. These crops should not require much water, also not be expensive to cultivate, and should be able to withstand stress; therefore, these crops could be cultivated in dry and arid lands (Pandey, 2009).…”
