The use of fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) is an alternative fuel for diesel engines. It is substitute diesel that is prodused from
non-edible vegetable oils and is particularly significant because of the decreasing trend of economical oil reserves, environmental
problems caused due to the high cost of fossel fuel products and fossel fuel use. In this work reports determination of fatty acid
content of bitter almond (amygdalus bucharica) and cottonseed (gossypium hirsutum) plant oils by the gas-liquid
chromatography method and transesterification reaction of oils.
