Increasing the usage of edible oil in biodiesel production creates the fuel versus food controversy. This paper involves the study of cold flow properties of edible and non-edible oil's biodiesel. Corn biodiesel and jatropha biodiesel are blended respectively. The blend ratio of corn methyl ester and jatropha methyl ester CME: JME (20:80) has the oxidative stability of 6.42 hours and cold filter plugging point value of -2 {\^A}oC. An additive of acrylic co-polymer as the cold flow improver (CFI) reduced the CFPP value from -2 {\^A}oC to -6 {\^A}oC which results in better low temperature properties of corn-jatropha biodiesel blend. {\^A}{\copyright} (2013) Trans Tech Publications,Switzerland.}, keywords = {Biodiesel production; Cold filter; Cold filter plugging point; Cold flow properties; Corn oil; Jatropha methyl esters; Jatropha oil; Oxidative stability, Blending; Chemical engineering; Esterification; Esters; Low temperature properties; Oils and fats; Oxidation resistance, Biodiesel}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84886256242&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMR.781-784.2480&partnerID=40&md5=ae0123384cf9472feeb30f3d6114ce02}, isbn = {9783037858134}, issn = {10226680}, author = {Yun, H.
