The effect of different climatic zones on fatty acid profile of Ricinus communis seed oil

Castor bean has not been well studied in different genotypes and geographic zones despite its application industry medicine. Recently, the use of castor beans as biodiesel makes this plant a point interest for researchers. However, more studies are needed evaluating from ecologies. The effect climatic zones, Adana Mersin, on fatty acid profile chaster seed oils was investigated. It found that locations significantly influenced content. main ricinoleic with 84.63% 86.87% both Mersin locations, respectively. Despite acid, had higher concentrations Palmitic (1.97%), Stearic (2.1%), Oleic (4.4%), Palmitoleic (2.29%) whereas Linolenic (5.83%), Ricinoleic (86.87%) high Mersin. These results showed climate affects contents caster oil. This study will help selection proper oil cultivars only these regions but other world well.
