Abstract

Biodiesel has been receiving a lot of concern throughout the world due to energy needs and
environmental awareness. It is an eco- friendly, renewable and alternative diesel fuel. Of late, it is not economically
feasible since the cost of biodiesel is high when compared to conventional diesel oil as it is produced from pure vegetable
oil. Hence, more attention has been devoted to identify the low-cost feedstock such as animal fat, non edible oil and used
cooking oil to produce biodiesel. The present study utilizes mahua oil as a raw material for the production of biodiesel.
Production, optimization and characterization of mahua oil methyl ester were well established in the study. The
experimental techniques and the product evaluation results show that properties of the produced biodiesel are similar to
that of conventional diesel.
