The chemical structure and some properties of benzimidazole fungicides are given in Table 1. They are easily degradable in the environment at alkaline pH, but they are stable in an acidic environment. Methyl-2 benzimidazole carbamate (carbendazim) is the principal metabolite of benomyl and thiophanate methyl in the environment.1

Biodiesel has problems due to the microorganism proliferations (fungi and bacteria) that cause oxidation [16, 17, 27–30]; consequently, compounds with antimicrobial or antioxidant properties are desirable as additives [14, 31]. Considering that benzimidazoles constitute a class of organic molecules formed from benzene and an imidazole ring, they are widely used as antimicrobial [32–34] and antioxidant properties [35–37]. Moreover, several systemic fungicides with benzimidazoles are available on the market, such as carboxin [38], benomyl [39], carbendazim [40] and thiophanate-methyl [41–43]. Since benzimidazole antioxidant and antimicrobial properties are already described [33, 35–37], the application as an additive for diesel-biodiesel mixtures is promising scientific topic. Therefore, this work suggests a possible new application of the benzimidazole class as potential additives to diesel-biodiesel mixtures.
