Thermal Process of Castor and Plant Based Oil
Castor oil is an oil derived from castor seed from a plant Ricinus communis. The versatility of castor oil is highly attributed by 12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (ricinoleic acid) and its functional group. It is an oil that cannot be consumed by a human.

Bioenzymatic and Chemical Derivatization of Renewable Fatty Acids
In addition to our previous efforts toward bioenzymatic and chemical transformations of ricinoleic acid and oleic acid to their corresponding ,-dicarboxylic acids via their ester intermediates driven in Escherichia coli cells, several efficient oxidation

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

Chemistry and physical properties of estolides
Estolides are a developing class of natural and synthetic compounds that have been synthesized from hydroxy oils like castor and lesquerella or by the condensation of fatty acids across the olefin of a second fatty acid.

There have been strong interests in producing unusual fatty acids in oilseed crops to provide renewable industrial feedstock. Results are so far largely disappointing since much lower amounts of such fatty acids accumulate in genetically engineered seeds

Genetic Engineering of Lesquerella with Increased Ricinoleic Acid Content in Seed Oil
Seeds of castor (Ricinus communis) are enriched in oil with high levels of the industrially valuable fatty acid ricinoleic acid (18:1OH), but production of this plant is limited because of the cooccurrence of the ricin toxin in its seeds.

Lipase induction in Yarrowia lipolytica for castor oil hydrolysis and its effect on γ-decalactone production [PDF]
γ-Decalactone is an aromatic compound of industrial interest, resulting from the biotransformation of ricinoleic acid, the major constituent of castor oil.

The effects of high fatty acid on the glucose metabolism of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells [PDF]
The effects of high fatty acids such as oleic, richinoleic, linoleic, linolenic, palmitic and stearic acids, on the respiration, glycolysis, organic phosphate synthesis of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, were studied.

The Incorporation of Ricinoleic Acid into Rat Lymph Lipids
One milliliter of ricinoleic acid, triricinolein, or methyl ricinoleate was administered by gastric intubation to thoracic duct-cannulated rats. The lymph was collected over a 48-hr period, the lipids extracted from it, and separated into the various lipid classes by a combination of ion exchange and silicic acid and thin-layer chromatography.
