COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES FOR REFINED ARTOCARPUS HETEROPHYLLUS , ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE & SYZYGIUM CUMINI SEED OILS

Abstract

To reduce the impact created by burning fossil fuels on environment, alternative fuels will help us with twin benefits in terms of both power and global warming. Due this pandemic day by day consumption of fruits and dry fruits are increasing drastically by humans for improving their immunity .So, the locally available waste gives you a new channels for production of alternative fuels.  A series of experiments on bio-oil and property measurements were performed, analyzed and compared in search of alternative to the rising demand of fossil fuel and its depleting supply around the globe are attempted. Artocarpus heterophyllus, Anacardium occidentale, and Syzygium cumini seed refined oils are considered and examined. These seed oils are high in conjugated fatty acids. Anacardium occidentale, Artocarpus heterophyllus and Syzygium cumini seed oils are Sustainable and biodegradable biofuels with similar properties to petro-diesel fuel. The biochemical and biophysical properties comparative analysis of the selected oils with diesel is presented in this work. fuel properties, such as pH, flash & fire point, redwood viscosity, calorific strength, carbon residue, cloud level, pour point, boiling point, aliphatic / aromatic compounds and hydrocarbons content for the selected oils are reported.
