The transesterification reaction of sunflower, mustard and linseed oil with ethyl alcohol was studied using potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. The physicochemical properties and low-temperature characteristics of the feedstock and obtained products were studied. The most preferred feedstock for the biodiesel fuel production had been determined.
