Biodiesel contains esters in its composition which make it susceptible to oxidation. Among the factors that cause this reaction is the contamination with metal ions. In the present work, it was analyzed biodiesel samples obtained from a mixture containing 39.0% m/m soybean oil, 22.0% m/m beef tallow and 39.0% m/m poultry fat using a methyl route. Copper ions were added to the biodiesel to evaluate its catalytic action in the oxidation reaction, in the presence and absence of rosemary extract. During 192 h of assay, samples containing copper, without extract, showed shorter induction periods, higher rate constants and lower activation energy, when compared to samples containing extract, at the same assay temperature. Copper ions presented a strong catalytic action causing linearity deviations showing a super-Arrhenius behavior, while rosemary extract delayed the oxidative process and showed no linearity deviations.
