Influence of fatty acid composition of woody biodiesel plants on the fuel properties
TLDR
In this paper, the influence of the fatty acid composition on the biodiesel fuel properties was studied and the results showed that the fuel properties such as cetane number, iodine number and oxidation stability are mainly determined by the degree of unsaturation of fatty acid in raw oils.About:

A comprehensive review on properties of edible and non-edible vegetable oil-based biodiesel: Composition, specifications and prediction models
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fatty acid (FA) profiles of 28 edible vegetable oils and 40 non-edible vegetable oils were collected and their main specifications including sulfur content, density, viscosity, flash point, cloud point, pour point, cold filter plugging point, cetane number, iodine number, heating value, acid value and carbon residual before and after transesterification (vegetable oil and biodiesel, respectively) were analyzed in detail.
