Although pure mustard oil is banned for use as a vegetable oil in the United States, Canada, and Europe, it’s often applied topically and used as massage oil, skin serum, and hair treatment.
Mustard essential oil, a type of essential oil produced from mustard seeds using a steam distillation process, is also available and approved for use as a flavoring agent.
Mustard oil comes from the seeds of mustard plants. It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which appear to reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. However, cooking with the oil may pose a serious risk, especially for children.
As a source of biodiesel, recent studies showed that the biodiesel synthesis from Mustard Oil is limited by a number of factors that include having the proper reaction temperature, oil-to-methanol molar ratio, and the quantity of catalyst. A study using response surface methodology as a model has been used to optimize the reaction factor for biodiesel synthesis from Mustard Oil. Biodiesel production from Mustard Oil is, indeed, a promising enterprise. Advances in models and simulations have facilitated optimization of key processing parameters necessary to obtain good yields of such biodiesel.
