Is Castor a plant?
Castor (Ricinus communis Linneo) belongs to the plant family of Euphorbiaceae and is a crop intensively cultivated to produce oil from its seeds. There is a high demand of oil on the international market since oil extraction is economically favorable and oil has versatile applications in industry.
What are the by-products of castor seed oil processing?
Seeds are commonly used for the extraction of oil, thus, a large number of by-products are obtained from them. The major by-products originating from castor (Ricinus communis Linneo) seed oil processing are oil cake and plant residues such as husks, leaves, roots, and stems, after seeds have been harvested and processed.
Who makes castor oil?
Over the next 3 years the Castor Products Company methodically promoted superior products and expanded production to meet growing demand. Then in 2005 CPC co-founder Mr. Nanala Satra met with a leading German cosmetic maker, WALA (branded as Dr. Hauschka), who asked them to produce an Organic-certified Cold-pressed Castor Oil.
