Abstract-The present study introduced the potential used of Garcinia Mangostana Linn. seeds as feedstock for bio-diesel production. The preparation of biodiesel by two-phase solvent extraction (TSE) and alkali-catalyzed transesterification was studied. The important factors including catalyst concentration, ratio of methanol to oil and temperature on conversion FAME were examined respectively by experiments. The results of two-step transesterification showed that the optimal conversion of Garcinia Mangostana Linn. seeds into fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were at condition of 4:1 methanol/oil volume ratio, 50 o C reaction temperature, 0.5% ( catalyst / oil weight ratio w/w) solid base catalyst amount and at 5 minutes reaction time.

“…The use of such edible oil to produce biodiesel is not feasible in view of big gap in the demand and supply of such oils in the country for dietary consumption. Increased pressure to augment the production of edible oils has also put limitations on the use of these oils for production of biodiesel (Sinha et al, 2008). Therefore, biodiesel is actually competing limited land availability with the food industry for the same oil crop.…”

“…Few sources have been identified such as waste cooking oil (Wang et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2009) and oils from non-edible oil-producing plants such as Jatropha curcas (Heller, 1996;Herrera et al, 2006;Tiwari et al, 2007;Berchmans and Hirata, 2008;Chew, 2009), Pongamia pinnata (Meher et al, 2006;Naik et al, 2008;Pradhan et al, 2008), Calophyllum inophyllum (Sahoo et al, 2007), cottonseed (Demirbas, 2008;Qian et al, 2008;Rashid et al, 2009), rubber seeds (Ikwuagwu et al, 2000;Ramadhas et al, 2005) and tobacco seeds (Usta, 2005;Veljkovic et al, 2006). Obviously, developing nations have to focus their attention on oils of non-edible nature, which are cheaper (Sinha et al, 2008). In Malaysia, Jatropha curcas L. (JCL), could be utilized as a source for production of oil and can be grown in large scale on non-cropped marginal lands and waste lands.…”

“…Transesterification is the chemical reaction between triglycerides and alcohol in the presence of catalyst to produce mono-esters (Sinha et al, 2008;Xu et al, 2007). Most of the biodiesel produced worldwide is based on transesterification in homogeneous media with sodium methoxide as the reaction catalyst.…”

Biodiesel derived from non edible sources is a potential eco-friendly substitute to petroleum fuel. Acid-catalysed esterification was applied to reduce free fatty acid (FFA) content of oil to zero followed by base-catalyzed transesterification to convert esterified product to its mono-esters and glycerol. The major factors affecting the conversion efficiency of these two processes such as amounts of solvent and catalyst, reaction temperature, and reaction time were optimized. The physical properties and heating value of Mahogany Seed Oil (MSO) and MSO diesel are evaluated and compared with that of commercial diesel. FTIR and 1H NMR spectrum of MSO and MSO biodiesel confirmed the conversion of MSO to biodiesel. The oxidation stability of MSO biodiesel oil was also studied. The study affirms the production of biodiesel from MSO as a renewable alternative to the diesel fuel.
