Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Generally, the fuel quality of biodiesel can be influenced by several factors which are the quality of the feedstock, the fatty acid composition of the parent vegetable oil or animal fat, the production process and the other materials used in this process, and post-production parameters. The discussion focuses on the most important issues for assuring product quality for biodiesel as it is related to production as well as some post-production parameters.
