Castor oil is derived from the seeds of the plant Ricinus Communis, which occurs naturally in almost all tropical and near-tropical areas as a perennial. It is also widely found in temperate climates, but where frost occurs, the plant must be cultivated as an annual.
The seeds of the plant, commonly called castor beans, grow in clusters on spikes of the plant. The seed or bean itself is encased in a spiny outer shell, from which it may be separated by mechanically dehulling, or by sun-drying in the open until the casing splits. The bean itself consists approximately of 75% kernel and 25% husk. The oil content of the whole seed varies between 35-55%. A typical analysis will show: moisture - 5. 5%; oil -48.6%, protein - 17.9%; carbohydrate - 13.0%; fiber - 12.5%; and ash - 2.5%.
The oil is a rarity in nature, being almost a pure compound - about nine-tenths the glyceride of ricinoleic acid. The average fatty acid composition of castor oil is 86% ricinoleic, 8% oleic, 3%- linoleic. and 3% stearic and dihydroxystearic.
The major usage for extracted castor-bean meal is as a fertilizer for which use it is eminently suited. It releases its nitrogen content slowly. and is quite high in humus value. Further, the meal also contains several other elements of plant food.
Two grades of castor oil are recognized in the United States. These are No. 1 oil, consisting of the first pressing (cold) of the oil seeds. This pressing is followed by bleaching and filtration with activated carbon or earths. The No. 1 oil is light in color, brilliant. And low in acidity. It is suitable for use in medicinal preparations.
The other grade of oil is No.3. This is extracted from the press cake from No. I oil pressing by means of hydrocarbon solvents. The No. 3 oil is darker in color, and higher in acidity than cold pressed oil, and is considered unsuitable for medicinal purposes.
