A two-step process assisted by microwave irradiation was used to produce kenaf oil methyl ester. The first stage made use of sulfuric acid catalyst to convert free fatty acids into methyl ester, while the second made use of potassium hydroxide catalyst under microwave irradiation to transesterify th...
