The sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) oil was extracted from the seeds of the sesame that grows in Diyarbakir, SE Anatolia of Turkey. Sesame seed oil was obtained in 58wt/wt%, by traditional solvent extraction. The methylester of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed oil was prepared by transesterification of the crude oil. Transesterification shows improvement in fuel properties of sesame seed oil. This study supports the production of biodiesel from sesame seed oil as a viable alternative to the diesel fuel.
芝麻油是从生长在土耳其东南部迪亚巴克尔的芝麻种子中提取的。通过传统溶剂萃取法，以58wt/wt%的比例获得了芝麻油。芝麻油（Sesamum indicum L.）的甲酯是通过原油的酯交换反应制备的。酯交换反应改善了芝麻油的燃料性能。本研究支持将芝麻油作为柴油燃料的可行替代品来生产生物柴油。
