Authors: , ,
Abstract: The research was conducted in the Pilot Plant Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture Technology, Andalas University, Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia in October 2008 to February 2009. The research objective was to know biodiesel characteristic of kepayang seed oil. The biodiesel was made in two steps i.e., esterification process and transesterification. Physicochemical characteristic of the biodiesel were yield, viscosity, density, acid number, Iod number, saponification number, gliserol number, and ester content. Biodiesel from kepayang oil toward to viscosity, density, acid number, iod number, soup number, gliserol number, and ester content was full fill ASTM biodiesel quality.
