  1. Oils rich in PUFA are NOT desirable for bio-diesel production because
    1. they form epoxides in presence of oxygen
    2. they do not form epoxides in presence of oxygen
    3. they have high ignition temperature
    4. they solidify at low temperature
Correct Option: A

PUFAs are long-chain fatty acids containing two or more double bonds.
They provide structural & functional characteristics, and are involved in a wide range of biological components including membranes (in phospholipids). Equally important PUFAs serve as precursors for conversion into metabolites that regulate critical biological functions.Biodiesel is a non-petroleum and environmentally-friendly alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel and not fatty acid.PUFA is fatty acid it is not used as it forms epoxide in presence of oxygen.
