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 °C. An additive of acrylic co-polymer as the cold flow improver (CFI) reduced the CFPP value from -2 °C to -6 °C which results in better low temperature properties of corn-jatropha biodiesel blend. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications,Switzerland.
