  • How to extract castor seeds?
  • Currently used extraction techniques are supercritical fluid, pulsed electric field, Soxhlet, enzyme-assisted extraction, ultrasound, and microwave-assisted extraction. These methods are efficient and result in rapid extract recovery. Castor seeds are one of the most produced non-edible oil crops in India.
  • Do Malaysian castor seeds contain lipids?
  • The results showed that Malaysian castor seeds contain a relatively high percentage of total lipids content; 43.3% (per dry weight), high iodine value (84.5 mg/g) and saponification value (182.96 mg/g). The seed oil moisture content, acid value and free fatty acid percentage (% FFA) were 0.2%, 4.88 mg/g and 3.4%, respectively.
  • Is Castor a viable seed oil extraction method?
  • Castor is one of the essential seed crops. Demand for increasing vegetable oils (edible and non-edible) necessitates developing cost-effective, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and industrially viable seed oil extraction techniques that produce high extraction yield with minimal impact on bioactive quality.
  • What are castor seeds?
  • Castor seeds are one of the most produced non-edible oil crops in India. They are considered to be a valuable raw material for many value-added products due to the lipid composition of their oil.
  • Can a hybrid method be used to extract oil from castor?
  • The hybrid method by applying synergetic effect of ultrasound and microwave for in-situ oil extraction from large scale non-edible oil feedstocks such as Castor, hasn't been looked into as much as conventional techniques and other methods like individual ultrasound and microwave.
  • What are the physicochemical characteristics of castor bean oil?
  • The physicochemical characteristics of castor bean oil were evaluated. The results showed that Malaysian castor seeds contain a relatively high percentage of total lipids content; 43.3% (per dry weight), high iodine value (84.5 mg/g) and saponification value (182.96 mg/g).
