In this investigation, Jojoba bio-oil was converted to biodiesel through a process of transesterification. In the present work methanol is used as an alcohol and potassium hydroxide is used as a catalyst. Single stage transesterification process was employed as the content of free fatty acids was 1.2%. Physiochemical properties of the biodiesel like density, specific gravity, calorific value, flash and fire point, ash content, kinematic viscosity and acid value were found out using different methods and these properties are compared with those of petroleum diesel
