Table 1 Biodiesel yield (%) from palm and Jatropha oil after 24 h transesterification with enzymatic catalysts

From: Lipase-catalyzed biodiesel production and quality with Jatropha curcas oil: exploring its potential for Central America

Catalyst	Oil	Biodiesel yield
Catalyst	Oil	% ± S.D.
NaOH	Jatropha	90.0 ± 2.6^a
NaOH	Palm	92.3 ± 1.5^a
TL	Jatropha	80.7 ± 2.5^b
TL	Palm	85.6 ± 4.0^b
CA	Jatropha	66.8 ± 0.5^c
CA	Palm	61.6 ± 0.9^c
C.V. (%)		2.8

Data are from transesterified oils (Jatropha and palm) with alkaline (NaOH) and enzymatic (TL and CA) catalysts. Means with different superscript letters (a, b, c) on the same column are significantly different (LSD test, P < 0.05). % C.V. percent coefficient of variation
