Abstract
As in current scenario, the cost of all commercial fuels are of higher cost and the rates are increasing dramatically day by day and even their usage leads to pollution, that in turn increases the global warming. In the present study, the different seeds were taken for the study pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) and Soybean (Glycine max) for the biodiesel production. The oil was extracted from those seeds after drying and powered. The extracted oil was estimated for the total percentage of yield and it was determined as pumpkin 83.00 % yield of weight. The percentage yield for peanut and soybean was determined as 85.00%, 79.00 % respectively. The high yield for oil was identified in peanut. Various parameters of oil were predicted. The parameters are pH, Color, appearance at 20oC, percentage yield, moisture content, protein content, fiber content, fat content, gravity, Solubility in water were predicted. Further the production of biodiesel was carried out from Pumpkin seed oil and it was characterized through flame test and GS-MS report. The main fatty acids present were palmitic acid (54.64%), oleic acid (28.38%) and EPA (4.72%). It will help to produce maximum amount of biodiesel in economic way. Keywords: Biodiesel, Pumpkin seed, Peanut, Soybean, Oil
