Abstract:
A method for determining the glycerin content of a biodiesel sample is provided which utilizes the conversion of the glycerin content of the biodiesel sample into a colored compound, preferably quinoneimine dye. The concentration of the colored compound, preferably quinoneimine dye, in the biodiesel sample may then be measured and converted to a concentration of glycerin in the biodiesel sample.
