Enzymatic production of biodiesel from Pistacia chinensis bge seed oil using immobilized lipase

► The non-edible PCO grows in harsh conditions and can produce a biodiesel. ► The PCO could offer an oil resource with reduced costs of raw materials. ► MI-ROL gave a higher biodiesel yield than AI-ROL in the first cycle. ► AI-ROL was more stable than MI-ROL in the transesterification of PCO.
