Ricinoleic acid is a kind of unsaturated fatty acids in oil of castor bean (Ricinus communis) seeds with wide application value. However, there is little transcriptomic information on genes related to ricinoleic acid biosynthesis in castor beans.

THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF RICINOLEIC ACID [PDF]
1. Ricinoleic acid is shown to be synthesized in the immature castor bean seed only after 3-4 weeks from the time of fertilization. 2. Synthesis occurs both in the isolated embryo and the endosperm. 3. Linoleic acid does not act as precursor of ricinoleic acid in the isolated bean embryo. 4.

Synthesis and physical properties of estolide ester using saturated Fatty Acid and ricinoleic Acid. [PDF]
A study was conveyed to produce estolide ester using ricinoleic acid as the backbone. The ricinoleic acid reacted with saturated fatty acid from C8–C18. These reactions were conducted under vacuum at 60°C for 24 h without solvent.

Indulging Curiosity: Preliminary Evidence of an Anxiolytic-like Effect of Castor Oil and Ricinoleic Acid. [PDF]
In 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.

Optimization of High Yield Epoxidation of Malaysian Castor Bean Ricinoleic Acid with Performic Acid
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.

Vegetable Oil-Based Materials for Drug Delivery Systems and Wound Dressings. [PDF]
Renewable resources like vegetable oils are increasingly explored for biomaterial production in biomedical applications. Their monoglycerides and triglycerides inherently possess functions or can be chemically modified to introduce functional groups suitable for polymerization, yielding biomaterials with desirable properties such as flexibility ...

Accumulation of ricinoleic acid in developing seeds of castor (Ricinus communis) from India
Plant oils serve as a major resource of food, feed, as well as raw materials for various industrial applications. Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is a plant of Euphorbiaceae family which have high level of ricinoleic acid (over 85%) in its seed ...

New insights on the metabolism of ricinoleic acid in ruminants [PDF]
Dairy goats were fed a total mixed ration with or without the inclusion of castor oil [40 g/kg of dry matter (DM)] to study the metabolism of ricinoleic acid (12-OH,cis-9-18:1). Ten goats, at 39.7 ± 4.0 d in milk, were individually penned and allocated at random to the 2 experimental diets. Goats were manually milked twice a day.

Estolides of ricinoleic acid (RA) have been used as lubricants and pigment dispersant in many industries. In this paper, functional acid ionic liquids (ILs) were firstly used as catalysts to prepare RA estolides by the esterification of RAs in solvent-free system. Different ILs were used as catalysts for the esterification. Effect of reaction variables
