In this paper, the effort through by various researchers on the characteristics and applications of biodiesel were surveyed. The methods for the preparation of biodiesel and also various methods for the oxidized biodiesel were summarized. It was found that biodiesel is a superior clean source of energy in the domestic and industrial application. The blending of biodiesel with diesel decreases the percentage of NOx, CO and HC exhaust emissions. An attempt is made in this paper is to review the literature related to the use of biodiesel in various diesel engine under a variety of operating condition. Also, this paper serves as precious references on the preparation of oxidized biodiesel to use it on the diesel engine and change in the properties of biodiesel after oxidation.
