ABSTRACT: Understanding of conventional fuel obtained from fossils extinct has prompted researcher to give way for fuel which is environmental friendly, renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable and easily usable. The fuel which can be extracted from straight vegetable oil using trans-esterification process and is proven to be prominent alternative fuel known as biodiesel. Fluorescence spectroscopic analysis was used to assess production of biodiesel from soybean refined vegetable oil. The results obtained by various author indicates that quality of biodiesel is affected by fluorescence spectra resulting into its effect on emissions and performance of an engine. This study further outlines about performance of engine and its emission using biofuel derived from oil like soybean, rapeseed, jatropha, neem and karanja which have been reread from various topical publications. The review enumerates that blend of biodiesel with conventional petro-diesel indicates promising results in terms of performance as well as emission control. Conclusively, biodiesel as an alternative fuel having huge potential around world in terms of economical production.
