Effect of Al2O3 and CeO2 Nanocatalysts on Biodiesel Yield from Pine and Soapnut Oils
Abstract: Abstract This study examines the influence of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and cerium oxide (CeO2) nanocatalysts on the biodiesel yield obtained from two non-edible oils: pine oil and soapnut oil. Both oils were extracted through mechanical pressing and converted into biodiesel using the transesterification process. To understand how different process conditions, affect biodiesel production, a Box–Behnken Design (BBD) was used. Three key variables—methanol-to-oil ratio, catalyst concentration, and reaction temperature—were analyzed to …

Impact of Secondary Metabolism on Therapeutic Efficacy of Medicinal Plants
Abstract: Medicinal plants constitute main resource base of almost all the traditional healthcare systems. Most of the herbal drugs produced currently in majority of the developing countries lack proper quality specification and standards. Both the raw drugs and the finished herbal products manufactured contain complex mixtures of organic compounds, such as fatty acids, sterols, alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, glycosides, saponins, tannins, terpenes, etc. The quality of the finished product is based on …

Occurrence of Trace Metals in Fresh and Canned Foods
Abstract: Food production and supply does not always tally with the demand or meets of the people. Food preservation methods have been followed by men since times immemorial. Canned fish and vegetables are the most popular processed foods in the developed world since it is convenient and affordable. Fish is widely consumed by humans because it has high protein content, low saturated fat and also contains omega 3 fatty acids known …

Comparative studies on the use of palm kernel and coconut oil as biodiesel fuel sources
Abstract: This research work focuses on the production of biodiesel from palm kernel oil and coconut oil. The biodiesel was prepared by trans-esterification of the oils (unsaturated fatty acid) with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to give mono alkyl ester. The biodiesel obtained from the two sources was characterized and the properties compared, The API gravity, Specific gravity, Flash point, Carbon residue, Sediment and Water content, sulphur content …

Production of Waste Animal Bone as a Heterogeneous Solid Base Catalyst for Transesterification of Jatropha Oil
Abstract: Heterogeneous catalyst plays a vital role in transesterification process, especially in view of cost and reusability. In this study, heterogeneous solid base catalyst was prepared by impregnating the waste animal bone with different weight percent (wt%) KOH solution followed by drying and calcination at 900 °C for 3 hr. Having screened the catalytic performance and basicity of animal bone loaded with different K-compounds, 12 wt% KOH loaded on animal bone …
