However, the direct use of Vegetable oils in diesel engines was found
impractical due to several factors, such as the high viscosity, acid
composition and free fatty acid content. Accordingly, they require further modifications
for effective use. Undergoing transesterification reaction is the most
favorable for decreasing oil’s viscosity and producing what so called “Biodiesel
fuel”. Read more>>>>>>
