The kinetics of alkanolamide synthesis from Mango kernel oil (Mangifera indica Linn) fatty acids and diethanolamine was studied using conventional reactor and microwave synthesis reactor. The experimental results were found to fit Pseudo first order kinetics. The influence of the temperature on the rate constant were determined for both reactors by fitting the results into the Arrhenius equation . The maximum rate of reaction was found at 150O C. The activation energy for the reaction was determined using Arrhenius equation. Based on the experimental results a fatty acid to diethanolamine ratio of 1:2 (w/w) and 1:5 (5.37) (molar basis) and a temperature of 150 OC were found suitable for the synthesis of fatty acid alkanolamides of mango-kernel oil. The results obtained from microwave synthesis reactor were better than the conventional reactor due to effective heat transfer in microwave synthesis reactor

Keywords- Kinetics, mango-kernel oil fatty acids, diethanolamide, microwave synthesis.
