Abstract
In this study, the fuel characteristics of biodiesel produced from jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider] oil and biodiesel obtained from the jojoba oil procured under laboratory conditions were compared. For this purpose, jojoba seed endosperm and oil, which was attained from the jojoba endosperm calli via soxhlet extraction, was obtained. Biodiesel was produced from this oil via the transesterification method. It was determined that the fuel characteristics of the biodiesels produced from the oil procured under the laboratory conditions and the oil attained from the seeds were close to each other, and it was observed that the other features were in parallel with the standards, except for the viscosity and freeze point. This research study offers a solution for the raw material problem, which is one of the most important obstacles against the widespread use of biodiesel, in terms of environmental and economic aspects.
