“…In order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production, use less energy, and, at the same time, have the least negative impact on the environment, a simultaneous process of oil extraction from oily raw materials and its transesterification into biodiesel (in situ) can be applied. In this process, biodiesel is produced directly from crushed oilseeds using various alcohols and catalysts [7]. Many researchers who have studied the in situ process have found that it occurs faster and more efficiently using solvents [8].…”

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the process of enzymatic biodiesel synthesis by directly using rapeseed as a raw material, extracting the oil contained within and interesterifying with a mixture of methyl formate and mineral diesel, choosing the amount of mineral diesel so that the ratio between it and the rapeseed oil in the seeds was 9:1. As the final product of the interesterification process, a mixture of mineral diesel and biodiesel was obtained directly, which is conventionally produced by mixing the mineral diesel and biodiesel. The tests were performed using enzymatic catalysis using the lipase Lipozyme TL TIM. Process optimization was performed using the response surface methodology. A model describing the interaction of three independent variables and their influence on the yield of rapeseed oil methyl esters was developed. The physical and chemical indicators of the product obtained under optimal interesterification conditions were evaluated.
