Bhaskar, K. published the artcileAnalysis of Cymbopogon Citratus, Pinus sylvestris and Syzygium cumini biodiesel feedstocks for its fatty acid composition, Quality Control of 929-77-1, the main research area is biodiesel feedstock fatty acid branching combustion.
Rapid depletion of fossil fuel and increased demand for petroleum products in energy and transportation sector motivated the researchers to find a substitution for petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is one among the alternate to this crisis. Biodiesel is a combined mixture of fatty acid alkyl esters obtained by the reaction of triglycerides of vegetable or animal origin with alc. in the presence of a catalyst. The fatty acid profile influences the overall properties of the biodiesel. The properties of individual fatty acid depend on the occurrence of double bonds, fatty acid chain length and branching. Better understanding of the fatty acid composition and correlating the fuel properties is of utmost importance in improving the optimal performance. In the present study, feedstocks of Cymbopogon citratus, Pinus sylvestris and Syzygium cumini is analyzed for its fatty acid composition study using Gas Chromatog. assisted with mass spectrometry. Based on GC-MS Anal., fifteen types of fatty acids in Cymbopogon citratus, Pinus sylvestris and Syzygium cumini oil Me esters were analyzed and defined; all these esters are amalgamations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The variation in fatty acid compositions affects the properties of the esters. GC-MS synthesis showed that Me, Et esters free from dirt for the three feedstocks. Few impurities like mainly mono-, di- and triglycerides were found.
Materials Today: Proceedings published new progress about Amalgamation. 929-77-1 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl docosanoate, and the molecular formula is C23H46O2, Quality Control of 929-77-1.
