Production of Biodiesel form Annona Muricata Seeds

Biodiesel is one of the effective alternative fuels to overcome the problems associated with environmental issues and energy crisis. However, the production of biodiesel from edible oil has provoked the food versus fuel dispute. Thus, non-edible crops, the Annona Muricata seed is selected as the...

Thus, non-edible crops, the Annona Muricata seed is selected as the raw material to produce oil for biodiesel production.
