- 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
