The extracted RSO and biodiesel was being analyzed for its lipid and ester content respectively. Standard ASTM D6751
methods were being used to find, acid value (ASTM D664), calorific value (ASTM D240), kinematic viscosity (ASTM
D445), moisture content (ASTM D2709), flash point (ASTM D93), specific gravity (ASTM D287) and cetane number
(ASTM D613). The fuel properties of FAME produced in this work is compared with Ramadhas et al. [2]. As shown in
Table 1, all the properties are within the biodiesel specification described by ASTM D6751. The calorific value of in this
work seems to be higher than the previous work by Ramadhas et al. [2]; furthermore, the kinematic viscosity and acid value
are very much lower in comparison. This is attributed to extensive the purification step of the FMAE undertaken in this
work.
