Currently, the global issue for countries is search raw materials and production of bioenergy within their country; also includes biodiesel fuels. One most promising fuels green diesel fuel produced by hydrogenation vegetable oils. Three methods have been proposed to obtain high-quality environmentally friendly fuel: compounding with hydro-treated fuel, compositions improved «green diesel» bio-...

Until the middle of this century, fats and oils are the major raw material source for paints, coating and lubricating applications. These markets are completely taken over by petroleum based stocks due to their abundance and versatility. However, recent public awareness to use environmentally acceptable products that minimize pollution, are compatible to human health and readily biodegradable c...

Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

Vicia faba is a vegetable which belongs to Legumes or Fabaceae family, Fabales order. Allergic reactions after ingestion of legumes and cases of asthma after exposure to the cooking vapors have been repor...

This paper discusses the application of the dynamic method to measure the solubility in pseudo-ternary systems formed by vegetable raw materials (cellulosic structure+solute) and CO2. For aromatic, medicinal, and spice plants, the soluble portion of the solid is formed of essential oils, oleoresins, pigments, and various substances from several other classes of organic compounds. The experiment...
