Energy is an
indispensable requirement for both developed and developing societies today.
However, most of the energy needs are met by fossil fuels, these resources are
not renewable. Many countries are evaluating alternative sources to meet energy
demand and to sustain development. In this study, oil was obtained by using
Prunus avium kernels, also known as Turkish Cherry cultivated from Pozantı
which is on the Taurus Mountains. Oil characterization was performed by gas
chromatography (GC) and free fatty acids were determined. Oleic acid (C18:1)
and Linoleic acid (C18:2) determined as 38.938 and 40.963 respectively. The
free fatty acids were then evaluated using the Biodiesel Analyzer v1.2 program.
The predicted results were the total percentage of monosaturated
fatty acids (MUFA) 39.408, total
percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) 41.042, Allylic Position
Equivalents (APE) 121.146, Bisallylic
position equivalents (BAPE) 41.220
respectively. On the other hand, Long Chain Saturated Factor
(LCSF) is calculated as 3.624. Higher Heating
Value (HHV) was calculated as 37.65Mj/kg, Cloud Point (CP) 0.099, Cold Filter
Plugging Point (CFPP) -5.091° C, Density (d) 0.838 (g/cm³), Cetane
Number (CN) 50.1, Iodine Value (IV) 109.878, Kinematic Viscosity 3.543, Flash
Point (FP) 160.56, Saponification Value (SV) 191.354, and Oxidation Stability
(OS) 5.468, respectively. As a result of this study, it was concluded that
Prunus Avium kernel oil is a promising biodiesel candidate.
