Graphical Abstract:
The extracts from the leaves of Deschampsia antarctica, Camelina sativa, and Camellia japonica plants, as well as from Camelina sativa and Silybum marianum seedcakes were investigated as potential additives for improvement of biodiesel stability against oxidation. In spite of significant distinctions in the content of various phenolic compounds, all the extracts were found to effectively inhibit DPPH radicals and decelerate transformation of fatty acid esters of biodiesel into organic acids by ~9-26%. Various extracts were shown to have different activity towards the biodiesel from rape and camelina seed oils; this result is consistent with the assumption that there is no universal stabilizer for different types of biodiesel.
