Biofuels are fuels produced directly or indirectly from organic material. With the help of advanced conversion technologies biofuels can be derived from agricultural crops, including food plants and special energy plants.
The fat content of pulse varies in different species. Most species contain about 1% fat, while groundnut and soyabean, have very high fat content, about 30% for soyabean and 49% for peanut (FAO, 1968). A pulse like soyabean, contains linolenic acid, which is an omega–3–fatty acid. The use of oil from pulses is encouraged because of the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content. So pulses can be used to make biofuel.Similar questions
