“…According to the analysis, the emission attributes of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and smoke opacity were decreased for all the fuel formulas. The quality performance and lower emissions make it a good replacement fuel to engines without any modifications [8,51]. Three methods of biodiesel manufacturing as the conventional method, ultrasonic horn method, and ultrasonic bath method were evaluated by a research group [45].…”

Mee (Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) J.F. Macb. var. longifolia) is a salient economic tree spread throughout the subtropical region of the Indian subcontinent. Its seed constituents have distinctive chemical properties and thus extracted fat have distinctive nutritional and functional characteristics. This seed fat is edible and can Meet the fat requirements of a human diet in an economical way. Research on potential utilizations, understanding of the chemical composition, and nutritionally beneficial properties and industrial applications of Mee fat are important for efficient utilization. There are some reports available on potential applications of Mee fat in the food-processing industry. But, presently, it can only be considered as an underutilized seed fat. In India, Mee fat is used for edible purposes to a certain extent and similarly in Sri Lanka. Therefore, more scientific research should be conducted on Sri Lankan Mee varieties for edible purposes. Popularization of this valuable fat source is important. Scientific knowledge and agricultural tools have been effectively applied to make Mee fat beneficial for commercial applications. This review article summarizes recent research and studies available on botany, phytochemistry, functional properties, processing as well as food and other industrial applications of Mee fat.

“…It is also known as fatty acid methyl ester from edible or non-edible vegetable oils and animal fats via transesterification [5]. There are several sources of non-edible vegetable oils available in developing countries of the world, especially in the African continent, that will help in reducing the competition involved in using edible oil for biodiesel production, such as castor oil [6], tamanu oil [7], rubber seed oil [8], jatropha curcas oil [9], neem oil [10], pongamia pinnata [11], mahua [12], and cottonseed [13]. However, gmelina seed oil (GSO) is one of the most promising feedstocks, attracting attention worldwide for production of biodiesel.…”

Heterogeneously Catalyzed Methanolysis of Gmelina Seed Oil to Biodiesel

et al. 2020

The heterogeneous catalysis of transesterification of gmelina seed oil to biodiesel is evaluated. The oil was extracted from the seeds with n‐hexane by solvent extraction and characterized to determine its physiochemical properties. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the effect of process variables on the biodiesel yield. The base‐activated clay catalyst performed as montmorillonite clay with the characteristic property of a Brønsted acid. It has an improved surface area after activation that enhanced its catalytic activity on transesterification reaction. Under optimal conditions, the biodiesel yield was 70.1 %, thus demonstrating that the model predicted well the biodiesel production.

In the present paper investigations were carried out to determine fatty acid composition and fuel properties of non-edible, renewable, champaca seed oil (CSO), champaca seed oil biodiesel (CBD), for its use in diesel engine. Methyl ester of seed oil was analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) -Mass Spectroscopy (MS) for the determination of fatty acid composition. The major fatty acids found in CSO were,
