Nowadays, the fossil's fuel reserves have reduced, causing an increase on the oil's derivate prices. Thus, the biodiesel appears as an alternative, where the oil of canola is a source to this biofuel, which has from 40% to 46% of oil in grain and showed an excellent quality, due to be constituted of fat acids. This work presents physicochemical properties of canola's biodiesel produced from methylic and ethylic routes through the transesterification process. The results are in according to the established by National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).Keywords: canola; oil; biofuel. OBTENÇÃO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO BIODIESEL DE CANOLA PELAS ROTASMETÍLICA E ETÍLICA RESUMO Atualmente as reservas de combustíveis fósseis têm diminuído, acarretando um aumento de preço dos derivados do petróleo. Desta forma o biodiesel surge como uma alternativa, sendo o óleo de canola uma opção para esse biocombustível, o qual possui de 40 a 46% de óleo no grão, e que é de excelente qualidade pela composição em ácidos graxos e já usado na Europa para produção de biodiesel. Este trabalho apresenta propriedades físico-químicas do biodiesel de canola nas rotas metílica e etílica através do processo de transesterificação e os resultados encontram-se dentro das normas estabelecidas pela Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP).
