Spectroscopy is vital in analysis of biodieselgiven that biodiesel has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its merits: biodegradable, renewable, non-toxic, less emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants with higher cetane number than normal fossil fuels. Spectroscopic methods could be atomic or molecular though modern techniques of acoustic, mass and electron spectroscopy do not involve the electromagnetic radiation. In this review, we studied various spectroscopic methods that have been used to evaluate the quality of biodiesel as well as observe the process of transesterification. Infrared, Nuclear magnetic resonance, Ultraviolet-Visible, Thermal lens and Mass spectroscopies are important analytical tools reviewed in this paper.
