DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENT-ASSISTED BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM PLUM KERNEL OIL: IMPACT ON REACTION RATE AND FUEL QUALITY
Plum kernel oil (PKO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production as it is obtained from plum kernels that are a significant by-product of the fruit processing industry. The kernels contain a high oil content (up to 46.9%) with a favorable fatty acid profile dominated by oleic acid (over 70%). This study investigates the effect of the deep eu...
