This report examines the long-term oxidation stability of untreated soy-based biodiesel (B100) and the effects of different antioxidants on its stability over 9 months of storage, both indoors and outdoors. The study reveals that while untreated biodiesel shows a decrease in stability over time, the addition of antioxidants can significantly enhance stability. Different antioxidants exhibit varying effects; specifically, TBHQ maintains its efficacy longer than PY and PG, which show significant stability loss, particularly at higher temperatures.

Chemical structures of antioxidants Ionol BF200: mixture of Mono-, Di-, and Tri- tert-butylphenol -(+)-Tocopherol
Summary • After 9 months indoor and outdoor storage, the oxidation stability of untreated SBO-based biodiesel decrease with increasing time, while antioxidant can improve the oxidation stability of the biodiesel. • Induction period changes differ depending on antioxidant: TBHQ can improve IP and remain constant for up to 9 months, while PY and PG decrease significant. • PY and PG are not very stable at higher temperature (Summer).
