Abstract

The present study aimed at the production of biodiesel from used soybean, sunflower and canola cooking oil. These oils are used in food processing industry and at retails for deep frying. Waste cooking oil,due to its readily-availability and cost-effectiveness is considered as the most appropriate candidate for the production of biodiesel. Lipase mediated transestrification for the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) of waste cooking oils needs optimization of some important variable such as type of alcohol, temperature, reaction time and oil to alcohol ratio. The best combination for maximum production of biodiesel through transesterification, was achieved at reaction temperature 50 ºC, by using methanol to oil ratio of 1:6 and optimal reaction time of 2 h. The biodiesel conversions from soybean (93 %), sunflower (90 %) and canola (57.5 %) were obtained when oil to alcohol ratio was 1:6. The FT-IR spectroscopy was used to assess biodiesel composition.
