Abstract

Abstract
Interest and idea of using renewable vegetable feeds as a replacement for mineral oils and the process of transesterification are over hundred years old. Today, for industrial production of biodiesel fuel, used are several processes of transesterification, achieving high conversions of triglicerides into corresponding methyl esters. Recently, there has been intense research of enzime catalyzed transesterification, which, due to its advantages, is becoming a growingly attractive manner of producing biodiesel fuel.

Keywords

biodiesel fuel, vegetable oil fatty acids methyl esthers; enzimatic catalytic proceses; lipase; vegetable triglyceride transestherification; esterification
