High‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) was used to evaluate the influence of different variables affecting the transesterification of rapeseed oil (RSO) with anhydrous ethanol and sodium ethoxide as catalyst. The effect of temperature, ethanol/RSO molar ratio, catalyst concentration, and time can be interpreted by observing the variations of the reaction medium composition. HPSEC has made the quantitation of ethyl esters, mono‐, di‐, and triglycerides and glycerol possible. The best results for laboratory‐scale reactions were obtained at 80°C with a 6:1 molar ratio of EtOH/RSO and 1% of NaOEt by weight of RSO.
