- Castor oil is a vegetable oil
obtained from the castor bean (technically castor seed as the castor
plant, Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), is not a member of the bean
family).
- Castor oil (CAS number 8001-79-4)
is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or
taste.
- Its boiling point is 313 °C (595
°F) and its density is 961 kg/m3.
- It is a triglyceride in which
approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid.
- Oleic and linoleic acids are the
other significant components.
- In the food industry, castor oil
(food grade) is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g.,
chocolate), as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging. Polyoxyethylated
castor oil (e.g., Cremophor EL) is also used in the foodstuff
industries.
- The use of cold pressed castor
oil (CPCO) in folk medicine predates government medical regulations.
- CPCO is tasteless and odorless
when pure. Its uses include skin problems, burns, sunburns, skin
disorders, skin cuts, and abrasions.
- It has also been used to draw out
styes in the eye by pouring a small amount into the eye and allowing
it to circulate around the inside of the eyelid.
- Note that most bottles of castor
oil indicate it is to be kept away from the eyes.
- The oil is also used as a rub or
pack for various ailments, including abdominal complaints,
headaches, muscle pains, inflammatory conditions, skin eruptions,
lesions, and sinusitis.
- A castor oil pack is made by
soaking a piece of flannel in castor oil, then putting it on the
area of complaint and placing a heat source, such as a hot water
bottle, on top of it.
