Percent yield of fatty acid ethyl esters at 1:4 CCO-to-ethanol molar ratio. Coconut biodiesel obtained from the most productive CCO-to-ethanol molar ratio (1:4) was analyzed through gas chromatography to determine the composition of major ethyl esters in biodiesel. Mainly esters of medium-chain fatty acids incorporated the coconut biodiesel produced at this ratio which included ethyl caprate (15%), ethyl laurate (19%), and ethyl myristate (43%). The graph was plotted in Microsoft Excel version 365 Pro Plus. Experiments were performed in duplicate
