Used cooking oil is defined as a residue or waste stream collected from restaurants or related commercial food processors
UCO after cooking is still a usable raw material
The viscosity of the oil increases, its colour will grow darker, and rancidity occurs
One of the cost-effective solution for recycling fuel source, saving both Earth and its people
Reusing UCO can detrimental health
Contains high toxicity of these degradation products
Leads to serious health effects (protein malfunction & muscle control problems)
Hugely increases blood pressure
Leads to a higher occurrence of cancer
The advantages in recycling UCO
Can be used to produce biofuel – green energy
The renewable energy produced by UCO can substitute traditional fossil fuel (e.g. petroleum, diesel etc.) to be the fuel of transportation vehicles, like cars, airplanes and ships.
Biofuels produce less greenhouse gases overall than fossil fuels when they are burned, which is cleaner and safer, can help to reduce pollution and improve greenhouse effects.
