Abstract

Two new types of biodiesel were assessed, produced by transesterification of the oil from Annona muricata L. seeds, using basic catalysis with methanol or ethanol, obtaining yields of 91 and 83%, respectively. The values of esters showed that the conversion of the oil into biodiesel was quite high 95.5 and 95.2% for methyl and ethyl biodiesel, respectively, this shows that the transesterification reaction was efficient producing a quality biodiesel. Both types were analyzed according to the parameters set by Brazil’s National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP), responsible for overseeing the quality and sale of fuels in the country. These analyses demonstrated that both new products can be used as fuels. No significant quality differences were observed between them. The new biofuels were also assessed when blended with petroleum diesel at different concentrations (up to 30%), presenting excellent results with respect to the parameters set by the ANP.
