Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) seeds were exploited as possible nonedible feedstock for the synthesis of liquid biofuels, namely, biodiesel and bio‐oil via alkali–alcoholysis and pyrolysis routes, respectively. The alkali–alcoholysis reaction of mandarin seed oil with an equivalent mixture of methanol–ethanol alcohols was examined and optimized by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The best experimental yield of biodiesel (95.55 ± 1.55 wt.%) was comparable with the predicted yield (95.0 wt.%). Also, analysis by one‐way ANOVA showed that the selected variables were statistically significant. The 1H NMR spectroscopy asserted the transformation of the oil to biodiesel. Also, the evaluated properties of the biodiesel were in the range given by ASTM D6751 standards. The mandarin citrus seeds have also subjected to the thermal pyrolysis process in a fixed‐bed reactor to obtain bio‐oil and bio‐char. The influence of the pyrolysis temperature, time, feed particle size, and heating rate on the bio‐oil yield was optimized. The highest yield of bio‐oil (52.34 ± 1.25 wt.%) was attained at 475°C for 60 min using 70 mesh particle size of the feed with a heating rate of 20°C/min. The bio‐oil was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR spectroscopy, and ultimate analysis. The bio‐oil derived from MCS has an empirical formula of CH1.88 O0.16 N0.012 S0.0005 with 37.96 MJ/kg of heating value. The elevated carbon level, low oxygen content, and high calorific value (25.45 MJ/kg) of the attained bio‐char suggest its suitability as a solid fuel. Also, the obtained bio‐char can be utilized for preparing carbon adsorbent as a result of its good surface area.

“…Transesterification is an organic procedure of altering bid branched triglyceride molecules of plant fats and oils into minor molecules of straight chain, just like the size of diesel fuel molecules. This method takes place due to the reaction between alcohol (Methanol-CH 3 OH) and vegetable oil under the impact of the catalyst (NaOH or KOH) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

 Abstract: presently, the world is grieving with lack of energy sources, since the petroleum reserve are being depleted very soon, moreover the world's temperature is rapidly increasing resulting from the emissions of automobile. More consideration should be given to this issue so, the researchers across the globe making difficult trials to find the best substitute energy reserve which swaps the fossil diesel petroleum. This article deals with manilkara zapota methyl ester, the biodiesel taken from a non-edible feed stock Manilkara Zapota seed generally known as Sapodilla. It has exceptional fuel properties like fossil diesel. By the transesterification process, Manilkara Zapota Methyl Ester (MZME) was taken out from crude manilkara zapota seed oil. Numerous test samples were equipped in the combination ratios ranging from 10% to 30% and the mixtures were selected as ZB10D90 (10% MZME + 90% Pure Diesel), ZB20D80 (20% MZME + 80% Pure Diesel) and ZB30D70 (30% MZME + 70% Pure Diesel). An experimental examination was performed on a single cylinder four stroke direct injection diesel engine to find out the emission, combustion properties, and performance at continuous speed and numerous load circumstances. The experimental outcomes were exposed that, at complete load condition, the performance aspects like BSFC and BTE were improved by 7.69% and 7.44% respectively, and the parameters of emission like CO was reduced greatly by 64% whereas NO x , HC and smoke opacity were concurrently increased by 12.36%, 6.67%, and 3.88% respectively, but no big variance was found in the emission of CO 2 when compared to diesel fuel. Heat release rate was decreased by 5.04% and cylinder peak pressure was improved slightly.
