Aspergillus terreus variant TB21 wet biomass optimized by in-situ transesterification for biodiesel production by Rashmi K. Bed, V. Ravi Kumar, Ameeta RaviKumar

“…Physico-chemical properties of TB21-derived biodiesel were determined, namely, density(0.88 g cm−3), kinematic viscosity (4.1 mm s−2), iodine value (96.82), cetane number (55.31), free fatty acid content (0.15%), total acid number (0.3 NaOH mg g−1), meeting international (ASTM D6751, EN 14214) and Indian (IS 15607) standards. Thus, the direct one-pot in situ transesterification reaction using wet biomass of variant TB21 strain showed improved production and quality of biodiesel with potential large scale application using the low-cost substrate (SCBH).…”
