scheme is illustrated by Fig-1. Transesterification of bands show similarity between diesel fuel and methyl esters.
rapeseed oil produces ester whose properties are The most pertinent folding vibrations of the methyl groups

fuel and the grape seed biodiesel are summarized in Table 1. folding deformation (between 1450 - 1470 cm1 bands). The
folding ascends from twisting and matching that seem at low
frequencies. The methylene group offerings scissors
vibrations at 1457 cm1. Based on the above discussion, it is
clear that both diesel and grape seed methyl ester are
saturated hydrocarbons and the presence of hydrocarbon
group C-H indicates that it has a potential as a fuel for diesel
engine.
