that of other plant methyl esters. The values were further compared with that of diesel. The properties of CME viz. kinematic viscosity, acid value, flashpoint, pour point and the cetane number were found different and unique compared to other PME. At the same time, the similarity observed between the properties of CME and diesel obviously reflects the quality of CME as biofuel. It is possible to interpret that the higher percentage of short chain of fatty acids, lipid saturation, and other physicochemical properties of coconut oil are instrumental in inducing the quality of CME as biofuel compared to other vegetable oils.
