  By M.U. Kaisan, G.Y. Pam, D.M. Kulla, A.J. Kehinde

  Abstract: In this research, two samples of wild grape seeds (Lannea Microcarpa) were used to produce biodiesel. The first sample was washed; dried and powdered, oil was extracted from the sample using soxhlet extraction method with n-hexane as solvent. The second sample was washed and dried, oil was extracted from the sample using mechanical press engine driven expeller. The oil yield from the first method was 33.3% while the oil yield …
