The major sources of dietary lipids are edible oils, which include both vegetable and fish
oils. Crude oil extracted from vegetable and fish sources contain mono‐, di‐, triacylglycerols …

With the growing awareness and sensitivity towards green energy, it makes an excellent
opportunity to promote rubber trees [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Muell. Arg.] as an …

The rapid exhaustion of mineral reserves and the growing concern for the environment
makes it essential to find a replacement for mineral oil lubricants and non-edible vegetable …

Non edible oil sources have the potential to lower the cost of biodiesel. However, they
usually contain significant high amounts of free fatty acids (FFA) that make them inadequate …

In the present study, nonedible seed oils from underutilized Nigerian NIG800 clonal rubber
seeds were extracted using a solvent method to obtain a yield of 43 wt% after extraction for 1 …

Lubricants are mostly used to reduce the friction and wear between sliding and metal
contact surfaces, allowing them to move smoothly over each other. Nowadays, due to the …

A novel low temperature glycerolysis process for lowering free fatty acid (FFA) in crude
jatropha oil for alkali catalyzed transesterification has been developed. The response …

A suitable heterogeneous catalyst for reducing 20 wt.% of free fatty acid (FFA) that is
contained in vegetable oil to less than 3 wt.% through re-esterification was investigated …

High acid levels, characteristic of rubber seed oil (RSO), limit RSO use in biodiesel
production. The aims of this study were to determine the causes of these high acid levels by …

The inadequacy of fossil fuel is the main driving force of the future sustainable energy
around the world. Since heterogeneous catalysis is used in chemical industry for biodiesel …
