Evaluation of the biodiesel fuel properties of fatty acid methyl esters from carica papaya L.

Evaluation of the biodiesel fuel properties of fatty acid methyl esters from carica papaya L.

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from Carica papaya L. (papaya) oil were investigated as a potential biodiesel fuel. Oil was extracted from papaya seeds by mechanical pressing, solvent extraction with hexane and solvent extraction with steam. The papaya seed oil contained 10.3% free fatty acid. Thus,...
