Due to environmental concerns and the depletion of the fossil fuel sector, demand for biodiesel as an alternative fuel is rising around the world. Concerns about the high cost of biodiesel production have been alleviated by using an improved enzymatic technique in manufacture.



To produce biodiesel using the Enzymatic biodiesel technique, which concurrently transforms triglycerides and FFAs into biodiesel, is environmentally benign and generally clean. However, this approach has been blamed for high operating costs, expensive enzymes, low yields, a shorter catalyst lifespan, and longer reaction durations. Because there is no chemical discharge and no need for water cleansing, this technique is the most environmentally friendly option. To make biodiesel from FFAs and triglycerides that have been stored for a long period, an enzymatic process known as transesterification and esterification is very useful. Because the reactions occur in relatively benign settings, this procedure also uses less energy.

Plant and oilseed Morphology

Mahua oil's morphology, availability, and combustion characteristics, including density, viscosity, flash and fire points, cetane number and calorific value, and its mixes with diesel oils under test, are described in this paper. The limited availability of petroleum, the rising expense, and the increasing danger of environmental damage from these fuels have sparked an intense quest for alternative fuels.

Investigate the use of Mahua biodiesel plant operations and discover various techniques to improve fuel economy in compression ignition engines. Using cleaner fuels like honge oil or Mahua oil, the diesel engine might be the most desirable of all time. The following are some of the reasons why the researchers chose Mahua oil as an alternative to other non-edible seed oils:

●       Non-edible oils are included in this category.

●       All around India, you'll find these trees native to the country, thriving no matter how dry the landscape.

●       In addition, these oils can simply be swapped with petroleum-based ones. Carbon-based hydrocarbons that are rapidly dwindling in supply

●       Because of their large availability and potential for development with age, they have been elevated to a higher level of importance. Oil's theoretical potential in India is currently projected to be approximately ten times greater than it actually is. 4, 00,000 metric tonnes of Mahua oil are produced each year.
