Abstract

This study compared biodiesel production from jatropha and novel mutant camelina (M6 progenies) to assess the latter's efficacy as a superior feedstock. Camelina oil yielded 96% biodiesel, while jatropha oil yielded 92%. GC-FID analysis revealed oleic acid as the major component in both, but mutant camelina biodiesel exhibited superior fuel properties (lower saponification value, higher iodine value, and better cetane number) compared to jatropha biodiesel. These results highlight the promising potential of novel mutant camelina lines for biodiesel production.
