I know abot lipase, but I need researchings and yieldings about enzymatic transesterification

What is the difference btw transesterification (biodiesel) and saponification (soap)?

All sites I’ve visited seem to show exactly the same result: a long-chain fatty acid with a carboxylate salt at the end! But I know this can’t be true, since you can’t run diesel engines on soap! Can anyone clarify the difference?
Specifically, base (NaOH) catalyzed transesterification

Can you mix different kinds of WVO to produce biodiesel?

Is it recommended to mix more than one type of oil (i.e. canola oil and soybean oil) before transesterification to produce biodiesel? If not, why not, exactly? If so, what considerations need to be made?

Can you mix different types of waste vegetable oil when producing biodiesel?
