Basic Properties of Crude Rubber Seed Oil and Crude Palm Oil Blend as a Potential Feedstock for Biodiesel Production with Enhanced Cold Flow Characteristics

Research and development in the field of biodiesel showed that fatty acid methyl esters synthesized from agriculture or animal oils and fats, which exhibit qualifying properties, can replace diesel fuel used in internal combustion engine. However, the industry had some downfall recently with the...
