Determinação do teor de ésteres graxos em biodiesel metílico de soja por cromatografia gasosa utilizando oleato de etila como padrão interno

A method for ester content determination in soybean methyl biodiesel was studied, using ethyl oleate as internal standard. A biodiesel sample was analyzed and had its purity estimated as 92.8%. Method accuracy was evaluated by comparison with the result obtained via EN14103, with a relative difference of 0.1%. Repetitivity and intermediate precision were estimated as 2 and 1.5%, respectively.
