Transesterification is the most effective and widely used chemical process for converting flaxseed oil into biodiesel. In this process, triglycerides in the oil react with methanol (or ethanol) in the presence of a base catalyst like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, producing fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin. The GlobeCore USB system optimizes this reaction with automated temperature control and agitation, ensuring high yield and consistent biodiesel quality even from oils with variable composition.
