AB - In this present study, biodiesel is a cleaner burning alternative fuel to the  Neat diesel fuel. However, several studies are pointed out that increase in  NOx emission for biodiesel when compared with the Neat diesel fuel. The aim  of the present study is to analyze the effect of antioxidant  (p-phenylenediamine) on engine emissions of a Diesel engine fuelled with  methyl ester of annona oil. The antioxidant is mixed in various  concentrations (0.010 to 0.040% (w/w)) with methyl ester of annona oil.  Result shows that antioxidant additive mixture (MEAO+P200) is effective in  control of NOx and HC emission of methyl ester of annona oil fuelled engine  without doing any engine modification.
