Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing
Castor oil has long been used commercially as a highly renewable resource for the chemical industry. 1, 2 It is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant ( Ricinus communis L.) that is mainly cultivated in Africa, South America, and India. 3, 4 Major castor oil-producing countries include Brazil, China, and India.
Castor oil as a potential renewable resource for the production
Owing to its rich properties and variety of end-uses, together with increased interests in biopolymer and bio-fuels industries, the potential for castor oil to play a much larger role in the world economy has increased dramatically in recent years. For instance, trend shows that castor oil prices steadily rose from $946 per tonnResearchGate

The crude oil was extracted with the help of mechanical expeller and free fatty acids were reduced with acid esterification and biodiesel produced through transesterification process. The total quantity of extracted crude oil from castor seeds was 45.8%, press cake 40% and losses 14.2%, and yield percentage of biodiesel was around 93.5%
Study on the Lubricating Properties of Castor (R
Rubber seed oil (RSO) (Hevea brasiliensis) was extracted from rubber seeds by chemical means. The effect of temperature on the oil yield was investigated. The experiment
Study on the Lubricating Properties of Castor (Ricinus
Castor oil had a high viscosity of 281.8 mm 2 /s at 40 C, which is the result of the hydrogen bonding present in its hydroxyl groups. The acid value of castor oil was 0.91 mgKOH/g. The low acid value is very favorable and shows that the oil has little susceptibility to decomposition thus giving it very long shelf life. Table 1.
