Extraction and Characterization of Castor Seed Oil from Wild Ricinus Communis Linn
Castor oil was extracted by mechanical cold pressing (< 45 0 C) of the seeds of wild castor plant (Ricinus communis L.) found in wet marginal lands of Katsina, Nigeria. Oil yield was 39.43%. The virgin oil (obtained as clear, viscous, pale-yellow liquid) was further purified by filtration through sintered glass (fine mesh screen). This was to eliminate any dust, gum, or other particulates prese...
متن کاملExtraction, Characterization and Modification of Castor Seed Oil
This paper carried out experimental study, through extraction and characterization of both crude and refined castor oil. Normal hexane was used as solvent for the extraction process. The oil produced was refined through degumming, neutralization and bleaching process using local adsorbent (activated clay). The characterization analysis revealed that tested parameters, which include specific gra...
متن کاملdetermination of some mechanical properties of castor seed (ricinus communis l.) to design and fabricate an oil extraction machine
this study was carried out to determine the effect of seed growing regions and loading speed on some mechanical properties of castor seed. these properties are used to design and improve related machines such as expeller that are used for extraction of oil from castor seed. mechanical properties of castor seed were expressed in terms of rupture force and energy, bio-yield force, apparent modulu...
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Variability, Correlations and Path Coefficients for Seed Yield Contributors in Castor (Ricinus communis L.)
Castor is one of neglected African oil crops with little research attention in Nigeria. In the present research, eighty-six castor genotypes were evaluated at three locations in Niger State, Nigeria. The aim was to estimate the extent of genetic variability and also to examine the associations among the seed yield and its components. The treatments were laid out in an Alpha Lattice Design with ...
متن کاملChemical modification studies on Ricinus communis (Castor Bean) agglutinin.
Ricinus communis agglutinin was subjected to various chemical treatments and the effect on its hemagglutinating and saccharide-binding properties was studied. Acetylation, succinylation and citraconylation led to a complete loss in the activity of the agglutinin, whereas reductive methylation had no effect on the activity, showing that charged amino groups were involved in the hemagglutinating ...
