Usability of fruit pulps as a source of bioenergy

There are a lot of studies to reduce the costs of biodiesel in the world. Some of the sudies are about using microbial lipids as a raw materials for biodiesel production. The rest of the studies are about microbial lipase usage as a catalyst. The goal of the project is to determine the fungal lipids which can isolated from Fungal lipid exraction from fruit pulp. Fungal biomass was achieved and the exracted lipids were used in biodiesel production. The obtained lipid was transesterified by a base catalyst. The methyl esters were analyzed by using gas chromotography.
