Abstract
The advanced biofuels are an important target within EU considering the 2030 Energy View. There is a rising demand in finding alternative second generation bio-fuels. With the aim of describing the characteristics of the oil obtained from crops grown in Transylvania and to compare them with values reported from other countries, the following chemical analyses were performed: free fatty acids, fatty acid composition, water content, nitrogen, sulfur, aluminum, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and unsaponifiable residue. The obtained results were compared with the results found in the literature and a comparison was made between the Camelina sativa oil and Brassica napus L. oil regarding fatty acid content. No significant difference were found between the results from the literature and results obtained by us, regarding fatty acid content. The most abundant fatty acid found was α-linolenic acid in concentration of 32.79% mg and 36.96% mg. The sulfur content was between 22-33 ppm (m/m). Calcium was found in the highest concentration of 1630-1670 ppm (m/m).
