Enzymatic Approach to Biodiesel Production
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007The need for alternative energy sources that combine environmental friendliness with biodegradability, low toxicity, renewability, and less dependence on petroleum products has never been greater. One such energy source is referred to as biodiesel. This can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, microalgal oils, waste products of vegetable oil ...

Enzyme immobilization for biodiesel production
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011Biodiesel has attracted more and more attention in recent years because of its biodegradability, environmentally friendliness, and renewability. Contrary to the conventional chemical catalysis method to produce biodiesel, the biochemical catalysis method developed quickly in the past decade and many immobilized enzymes are commercially available to ...

Butter as a Feedstock for Biodiesel Production
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were produced from cow's milk (Bostaurus) butter by esterification/transesterification in the presence of methanol. The product was assayed according to the Standard Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle Distillate Fuels (ASTM D 6751).

Heterogeneous Catalysts for Biodiesel Production
Energy & Fuels, 2007The production of biodiesel is greatly increasing due to its enviromental benefits. However, production costs are still rather high, compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel. The introduction of a solid heterogeneous catalyst in biodiesel production could reduce its price, becoming competitive with diesel also from a financial point of view.

Lipases as Biocatalyst for Biodiesel Production
2018Global shortages of fossil fuels, significant rise in the price of crude oil, and increased environmental concerns have stimulated the rapid growth of biodiesel production. Biodiesel is generally produced through transesterification reaction catalyzed either chemically or enzymatically.

Process Optimization for Biodiesel Production
Recent Patents on Biotechnology, 2008Biodiesel is an alkyl ester of long chain fatty acids and is considered to leave smaller footprint on the environment. It is produced by transesterification of a fat/oil with a short chain primary alcohol like methanol or ethanol. The three routes to its preparation are: alkali catalyzed, acid catalyzed and lipase-catalyzed transesterification.

The ecology of algal biodiesel production
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2010Sustainable energy production represents one of the most formidable problems of the 21st century, and plant-based biofuels offer significant promise. We summarize the potential advantages of using pond-grown microalgae as feedstocks relative to conventional terrestrial biofuel crop production.

An overview of enzymatic production of biodiesel
Bioresource Technology, 2008Biodiesel production has received considerable attention in the recent past as a biodegradable and nonpolluting fuel. The production of biodiesel by transesterification process employing alkali catalyst has been industrially accepted for its high conversion and reaction rates.

Biodiesel production with microalgae as feedstock: from strains to biodiesel
Biotechnology Letters, 2011Due to negative environmental influence and limited availability, petroleum-derived fuels need to be replaced by renewable biofuels. Biodiesel has attracted intensive attention as an important biofuel. Microalgae have numerous advantages for biodiesel production over many terrestrial plants.
