AB  - Recently, rubber seed oil (RSO) has been considered as a promising potential oil 
      source for biodiesel production. However, RSO is a non-edible feedstock with a 
      significant high free fatty acid (FFA) content which has an adverse impact on the 
      process of biodiesel production. In this study, ultrasonic-assisted 
      esterification process was conducted as a pre-treatment step to reduce the high 
      FFA content of RSO from 40.14% to 0.75%. Response surface methodology (RSM) using 
      central composite design (CCD) was applied to the design of experiments (DOE) and 
      the optimization of esterification process. The result showed that methanol to 
      oil molar ratio was the most influential factor for FFA reduction whereas the 
      effect of amount of catalyst and the reaction were both insignificant. The 
      kinetic study revealed that the activation energy and the frequency factor of the 
      process are 52.577kJ/mol and 3.53x10(8)min(-1), respectively.
