• Microbial Conversion of Waste Glycerol from Biodiesel Production into Value-Added Products (2013, background): “Biodiesel itself is composed of mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils or animal fats and is produced by transesterification with a monohydric alcohol (methanol) [3].”
• Biodiesel Production Processes and Sustainable Raw Materials (2019, background): “The major benefits of using biodiesel as a replacement for diesel fuel are [14–17]: There are also some disadvantages of using biodiesel that must be taken into consideration: The main restriction for biodiesel commercialization is its higher cost in comparison to petroleum fuel.”
• Production and comparative fuel properties of biodiesel from non-edible oils: Jatropha curcas, Sterculia foetida and Ceiba pentandra (2013, background): “The major components of biodiesel are straight fatty acid chain and the common fatty acid are palmitic (C16:0) acid, stearic (C18:0) acid, oleic (C18:1) acid, linoleic (C18:2) acid and linolenic (C18:3) acid [22].”
• Potential of the micro and macro algae for biofuel production: a brief review. (2013, background): “The currently available feedstock involved in the biofuel production includes vegetable oils derived from the oilseed crops, e.g., sunflower, soybean, jatropha, oil palm or rapeseed, waste cooking oil and the animal fat, e.g., beef tallow and pork lard (Moser Bryan 2009).”
• Microwave energy potential for biodiesel production (2013, background): “An example of this phenomenon is the transesterification (at 25°C) of canola oil with a 1:1 mixture of ethanol and methanol (to provide an overall molar ratio of alcohol to oil of 6:1) that results in 50% more methyl than ethyl esters [164,165].”
