Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) represents a promising source for biofuel production and
other bioactive compounds because of their high availability and high biomass yield. The present work aims
to determine the possibility for biofuel production and
other active compounds from seasonally collected water
hyacinth. The water hyacinth samples were collected at
four seasons (2014/2015) from River Nile, Giza, Egypt,
and the biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol), lipids, glycerol content, carbohydrates and other biochemical compounds were determined in addition to physico-chemically characterized of produced biodiesel The obtained
results indicated that, water hyacinth samples showed
variable lipid contents (6.79–10.45%), which by transesterification produced biodiesels (3.22–6.36%) and sediment (pigments+glycerol). Biodiesel composed either
totally of saturated fatty acids (Myristic acid) of winter
and autumn samples, However, Myristic and Stearic acids
with small proportion of pentadecanoic acid of summer
and spring samples by 8.1 and 7.9% respectively. The
monounsaturated fatty acid, Oleic, was only recorded
in the summer sample by11.6%. So biodiesels produced
from water hyacinth have good stability and acceptability
to be used in diesel engines, the co-products (sediment)
composed of pigments and glycerol reached to 4.69 mg/g
