Abstract :In recent years, the use of biodiesel has become increasingly important. One of the potential plants that can be used in biodiesel production is coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), a member of the Apiaceae family, is a medicinal, spice and essential oil plant. Although the homeland of coriander is the Mediterranean countries and the Middle East region, it grows naturally in Anatolia. In this study, coriander crude oil was obtained from coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) (Gürbüz registered variety) seeds using a screw press. Biodiesel production was obtained from coriander crude oil by transesterification method in a single stage (CGBD). Fuel properties of coriander (Gürbüz registered variety) (CGBD); density (kg m-3) (at 15 oC), kinematic viscosity (mm2 s-1) (at 40 ºC), flash point (oC), water content (mg kg-1), copper strip corrosion (3h at 50 oC), calorific value (MJ kg-1), color (ASTM D1500), cloud point (oC), cold filter plugging point (oC), pour point (oC). The conformity of coriander biodiesel according to EN 14214 standard was examined.
