dc.description.abstractCaustic potash extracted from the ashed samples of cocoa pod (Theobroma cacao) and palm kernel fronds (Elaeis guineensis) was used to catalyse the conversion of Jatropha curcas oil to biodiesel. The physicochemical parameters and fatty acid components of the prepared biodiesel were comparable to those of the biodiesel prepared with commercial KOH. This work, thus established the fact that it is possible to use erstwhile wasteful plant products for useful purposesen_US
