  • How is castor oil extracted?
  • Castor oil seed contains about 30%¨C50% oil ( m/m ). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of pressing and extraction. 74 After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry so that the seed hull will split open, releasing the seed inside.
  • 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.
  • How to improve bio-oil production from Egyptian castor seeds?
  • Also, Egyptian castor is one of the most important crops for oil production compared with other commonly used oil crops. The main aim of this study is to enhance the production of bio-oil from Egyptian castor seeds by using microwave and ultrasonic as pre-treatments.
