Enzymes turn vegetable oils into fuel through a flexible two-step process

Source : physorg.com

Biodiesel is a promising future fuel, particularly because it can be made from a wide variety of renewable sources such as crude vegetable oils and waste fats produced by commercial kitchens. Conventional chemical processes for producing biodiesel, however, require pure and refined feedstock oils, thus negating any potential advantages. To get around this problem, Md. Mahabubur Rahman Talukder and co-workers at the A*STAR Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences have developed a two-step biocatalytic process that works well on all sorts of oils - whether they are refined or not.
