Abstract (EN)

In this study oil was extracted from microalgae using various solvents to compare lipid yield. Prior to extraction different pre-treatment applications were made to break up cell walls and the yields of these extraction methods were investigated. Turning the extracted oil into methyl esters for biodiesel fuel production, gas chromatography was administered and studies were conducted with the final goal of defining the most suitable combination that provided FAME composition.
