Abstract :

 The seed oils of Zinnia elegans Jacq [ZE] and Salvia farinacea Benth [SF] plant species are selected for this analytical study. These species yield 27.7% and 27.1% non edible seed oil respectively. The details of com –ponent fatty acids [CFA] and other essential analytical data such as iodine value [IV], saponification value [SV] are collected from the literature. The major parameters of bio–diesel viz., cetane number [CN], lower heating value [LHV] and higher heating value [HHV] of the fatty acid methyl esters [FAMEs] are empirically computed. The bio–diesel properties of these seed oils are evaluated with reference to existing bio–diesels. This work reports the suitability of these species for the bio–diesel production.
