  • What is castor oil refining?
  • Refining of castor oil includes degumming, neutralization, de-waxing, deodorization and bleaching. Castor oil has one double bond in each fatty acid chain and is classified as non-drying oil. Like all other vegetable oils, it has different physical and chemical properties that vary with the method of extraction .
  • Which country produces castor oil?
  • India is the largest producer and exporter of the castor oil (www.statista.com). Castor oil is an important feedstock for the chemical industry which is mostly utilized for biodiesel production and pharmaceutical application because it is the only commercial source of hydroxylated fatty acid .
  • Can castor oil be used for biodiesel production?
  • Accurate detection and detoxification of castor toxin in feed and biological samples remain a challenge to the commercial use of castor meal in animal rations. The use of castor oil for biodiesel production is problematic due to its high viscosity and high cost of production and refining.
  • What does a Crude castor oil look like?
  • A crude Castor oil is a pale straw colour but turns colourless or slightly yellowish after refining and bleaching. The crude oil has distinct odour, but it can easily be deodorized in the refining process.
