Highlights

  • Specialty section: This article was submitted to Bioenergy and Biofuels, a section of the journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

  • Vegetable oils was first used as liquid fuels in internal combustion engine by Rudolf Diesel in early 1900 (Pousa et al, 2007), the low cost and easy availability have made the fossil fuels, such as petroleum, as a primary fuel for vehicular transports
