The process comprises removing oil from the oilseeds and recovering it, to produce a reside comprising complex polymeric carbohydrates; saccharifying the deoiled oilseeds comprising complex polymeric carbohydrates to form saccharides; fermenting the saccharides to form ethanol or other lower alkyl alcohols; recovering the alcohol; and then transesterifying the recovered oil with the recovered alcohol to thereby produce glycerine and fatty acid lower alkyl esters.
