Studies on castor oil. II. Hydrogenation of castor oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1957
Summary Products of low iodine value (<10.0) and hydroxyl value (35–40) can be readily obtained by hydrogenating castor oil at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures of the order of 220°, using 1.0% Raney nickel. Dehydration of ricinoleic acid and subsequent hydrogenation of the resulting double bond as also simple saturation of ricinoleic acid ...

Therapeutic potential of castor oil in managing blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye

Clinical and experimental optometry, 2020
The multifactorial pathogenesis and interrelationship of blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease poses challenges to any therapeutic approach. Current treatments are mostly palliative, with success limited by perceived inefficacy and

Ceramer coatings from castor oil or epoxidized castor oil and tetraethoxysilane [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 2006
AbstractNew inorganic‐organic hybrids were synthesized through the reaction of castor oil (CO) or epoxidized castor oil (ECO) with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The mass proportions of ECO/TEOS varied from 90∶10 to 60∶40, and films of the material were thermally cured. An IR spectroscopy analysis was performed, and macro‐ and microscopic properties such as

Biosynthesis of Ricinoleate in Castor Oil

1999
Castor oil is 90% ricinoleate (12-hydroxyoleate) and has numerous industrial uses. Components of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) pose serious problems to processors. Other researchers have cloned the gene for the oleoyl hydroxylase, but transgenic plants produce only about 20% hydroxy fatty acid.
