Optimisation of free fatty acid removal in nyamplung seed oil (Callophyllum inophyllum L.) using response surface methodology analysis

Nyamplung seed (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) oil is a prospective non-edible vegetable oil as biodiesel feedstock. However, it cannot be directly used in the alkaline catalysed transesterification reaction since it contains high free fatty acid (FFA) of 19.17%. The FFA content above 2% will cause sapo...
