•White mustard seed oil (WMSO) and quicklime are used for biodiesel production.•No solid catalyst has been used so far for transesterification of WMSO.•WMSO transesterification over quicklime was optimized using a full factorial design.•Performances of two kinetic models are compared to select the m...
