Abstract
An extract of M.oleifera oil was converted to biodiesel. The physicochemical properties of both oil and biodiesel were characterized using standard methods. The result show that of the oil yield was 38%, Moisture was (0.22%), Density (0.9022 g/cm3), Kinematic Viscosity at 40C (35.75 cp), PH (5.42), Fat content (38.3%), Acid value (9.89%), saponification value (210.13 mgKOH/g), Iodin value (66.50 g I2 /100 g), Peroxide value (6.50 Meq/kg), Refractive index (1.4791), Free fatty acid (4.22%), Flash point (185%). FT-IR and GC-MS show successful conversion of oil into biodiesel.
