Production and characterization of biodiesel from tamarind seed oil

Biodiesel production from food graded oils is not economical due to high prices. Almost 80-85% cost of biodiesel is due to feedstocks. And currently used non-edible, waste oils are not capable of large scale biodiesel production. Therefore, search for other non-edible oil bearing feedstocks is need...
