Indulging Curiosity: Preliminary Evidence of an Anxiolytic-like Effect of Castor Oil and Ricinoleic Acid. [PDF]
NutrientsIn the process of validating the elevated zero maze, a common test of anxiety-like behavior, in our laboratory, we demonstrated an anxiolytic-like effect of castor oil and its primary component, ricinoleic acid.

Phase separation on ricinoleic acid freezing [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Phase separation material essentially influence storage capacity or heat release. Ricinoleic acid is potential to be used as a heat storage material. However, the nature of the phase separation of the material has not been studied yet.

Optimization of High Yield Epoxidation of Malaysian Castor Bean Ricinoleic Acid with Performic Acid
Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2022 Epoxidized castor oil (ECO) has shown high potential for industrial applications as value-added products such as polymer coating, plasticizer, and biolubricant. Epoxidized ricinoleic acid recovered from ECO has potential for industrial usage.

Incorporation of ricinoleic acid into glycerolipids [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1971 Abstract The coenzyme A thiol ester of ricinoleic acid was synthesized and characterized. Ricinoleoyl-CoA has been tested as an acyl donor in several in vitro systems using rat liver microsomal acyltransferases. It is essentially inactive when 1-acyl- or 2-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoryl choline are used as acceptors, however, it can serve as acyl ...

Metabolism of ricinoleic acid into γ-decalactone: β-oxidation and long chain acyl intermediates of ricinoleic acid in the genusSporidiobolussp. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 In order to study differences in gamma-decalactone production in yeast, four species of Sporidiobolus were cultivated with 5% of methyl ricinoleate as the lactone substrate. In vivo studies showed different time courses of intermediates of ricinoleic acid breakdown between the four species.
