Southwest Cooking Oil: Acorn Oil from Native Oak Species Q. Macrocarpa, Q. Shumardii, and Q. Polymorpha Acorns as a Potential High-End Cooking Oil
The oil produced from acorns (Quercus) has been consumed by native peoples for hundreds of years. It is a nutritious cooking oil comparable to olive oil. Acorn oil is not currently produced on a market scale. This project attempted to extract oil from three native Texas species; however, due to …

Localizing used cooking oil processing for biodiesel production in Iceland
Iceland currently exports nearly all of its used cooking oil (UCO) for biodiesel production abroad—despite possessing abundant renewable energy resources and a national goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2040. This thesis examines the feasibility of localizing UCO processing for biodiesel within …

Thermal inactivation of Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in heat treated, recycled used cooking oil
Rendered oils and fats are commonly used in pet food products. Given the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which enforces a zero tolerance policy for Salmonella in all pet foods, the microbiological safety of these products has become an area of focus for the industry. …

The effect of waste cooking oil methanol molar ratio on yield and properties of biodiesel produced in a mini plant
Azhar food factory used a lot of cooking oil at least 144 tonne per year for frying and the company produce waste cooking oil about 54 tonne per year and WCO need to dispose in a suitable way without harming the environment. One of the alternative methods proposed is by converting the WCO into …

Relationship of moulding pressure and weigh of granulate in improving the mechanical and characteristics of biopolymer from renewable resources
Waste cooking oils are problematic disposal especially in the developed countries. Options for disposing of waste cooking oil are limited. Pouring waste cooking oil down to the drain or sewers leads to clog and odour as well as damage wastewater leading to problems for humanlife. Thus, in this …

Techno-economic optimization and environmental life cycle assessment of microgrids using genetic algorithm and artificial neural networks
… biodiesel production process from waste cooking oil (WCO) using methanol in the presence of propane as a co-solvent was technically analyzed using Aspen Plus software. In the fourth paper, a system dynamics model of the cast iron foundry process was developed and validated with the actual …
