  • Should edible oils be replaced by non-edible plant oils for biodiesel production?
  • From economic and social reasons, edible oils should be replaced by lower-cost and reliable feedstocks for biodiesel production such as non-edible plant oils. This paper reviews various methods for biodiesel production from common non-edible oils employing alcoholysis reactions.
  • Are non-edible plant oils suitable for human food?
  • Non-edible plant oils are unsuitable for human food because of the presence of some toxic components. These plants are easily available in developing countries and are very economical comparable to edible plant oils. Biodiesel produced from non-edible plant oils has good potential as an alternative diesel fuel.
  • Are non-edible plant oils better than edible plant oils?
  • The use of non-edible plant oils when compared with edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food, and they are far too expensive to be used as fuel at present ( Mahanta et al., 2006 ).
  • Can biodiesel be produced from edible vegetable oils?
  • An interesting case of biodiesel production from edible vegetable oils is India, where about 46% of the needed amounts for the domestic requirements are imported . Therefore, non-edible oils from jatropha, karanja, neem, mahua and other plants are the only possibility for biodiesel production.
  • Can non-edible oil plants produce biodiesel?
  • Non-edible oil plants are easily available in developing countries and are very economical comparable to edible plant oils. The production of biodiesel from different non-edible oilseed crops has been extensively investigated over the last few years.
  • Are non-edible plant oils a viable alternative feedstock for biodiesel production?
  • Therefore, non-edible plant oils become very promising alternative feedstocks for biodiesel production because of large demand for edible oils as food, the higher prices of edible oils than that of fossil fuels and the lower cost of non-edible oil plant cultivation.
