Biodiesel has emerged as a versatile alternative to fossil-derived fuels which is a renewable
and eco-friendly. The reactions via which biodiesel is synthesized from oil feedstocks are …

Biodiesel is a renewable alternative biofuel to conventional fossil fuel. Biodiesel can be
produced through esterification and transesterification reactions mainly catalyzed by acid …

The agro-food industry generates large amounts of waste that contribute to environmental
contamination. Animal fat waste constitutes some of the most relevant waste and the …

Transesterification of oil feedstocks using immobilized lipase (IL) is a promising process for
biodiesel production. However, the running cost of this process is still higher than that of …

Biodiesel, an alternate and ecologically acceptable substitute for the conventional fuel, is
usually produced from a wide range of edible vegetable oils, which are normally used for …

Non-edible feedstocks such as animal fat wastes (AFWs) have recently increased in
popularity as alternatives to vegetable oils in the production of biodiesel. They are low cost …

The development of new biocatalytic systems to replace the chemical catalysts, with suitable
characteristics in terms of efficiency, stability under high temperature reactions and in the …

At present, the homogeneous base-catalyzed methanolysis reaction of vegetable oils is a
most often used process for the industrial biodiesel production. The toxicity of methanol, the …

Lipases are being extensively researched for the production of biodiesel as a “silver bullet”
in order to avoid the drawbacks of the traditional alkaline transesterification. In this review …

The lipase from Burkholderia cepacia, formerly known as Pseudomonas cepacia lipase, is a
commercial enzyme in both soluble and immobilized forms widely recognized for its thermal …
