Title:Potential of Edible and Non-Edible Oils Grown in India and their Utilization in the Production of Biodiesel
Author Name:S.V.A.R. Sastry and Ch. V. Ramachandra Murthy
Synopsis:
This paper investigates the oil potential of chestnut samples. Proximate analysis was conducted on the extracted oil to determine its physico–chemical properties. Results showed maximum oil yield of 41.9 % at 55°C and lowest values of 37.0 % at 65°C, highest and lowest acid content of 25.52 mg/KOH/g at 60°C and lowest value at 5.89 mg/KOH/g at 50°C. The Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content obtained were 12.76 at 60°C and 2.94 at 50°C, while Saponification values were 61.71 mg/KOH/g at 60°C and 32.25 at 50°C. The highest Peroxide value of 92 was recorded at 55°C which dropped to 43.4 at 65°C. The highest Refractive Index value of 1.463 was obtained during sun-drying treatment while the lowest value of 1.460 was recorded at 65°C. Chestnut possess a high level of commercial value that could meet domestic and industrial oil demands.
