Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing
Castor Oil Extraction. Castor oil seed contains about 30%–50% 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. The

Castor Oil Manufacturing Process, Oil Expeller
Here are the basic steps to extract the castor oil. Step 1: Castor Seed Dehulling. Step 2: Castor Seed Cleaning. Step 3: Castor Seed Cooking. Step 4: Castor Seed Pressing. Step 5: Castor Oil Clarification. Step 1: Castor Seed Dehulling. Castor seed contains about 30%–35% oil. The extraction process begins with the removal of the hull from the
The highest extraction yield effectiveness of up to 98.37% is obtained using hybrid intensification for castor oil extraction at comparatively lower temperature (50 °C) conditions and within a shorter extraction time (30 min). The significant improvement in the oil extraction yield enhances the process's economic viability and energy efficiency.
Optimization of Process Parameters for Castor Oil Production
Cold-pressed castor oil has low acid and iodine values, a slightly higher saponification value compared to that extracted using solvent extraction as well as being lighter in colour [3]. In literature, various attempts were made to optimize castor oil recovery. The optimum results were a recovery and moisture content of 48.75% and 5.8%
As with most oilseeds, the castor oil production process begins with dehulling and cleaning the beans to remove shells, stems, and other foreign materials. Oil processors then heat batches of dehulled castor beans in steam-jacketed cookers or forced hot air vessels to remove moisture and harden the seeds for more effective mechanical pressing.
Traditional method of extracting castor oil
A study was carried o ut on the traditional method of processing castor oil. Nine major operations are. paste, mixing t he paste with water/boili ng to extrac t oil, sc ooping of oil and drying
Castor oil extraction yield of up to 35% was reported by Mosquera-Artamonov et al. [42] while using mechanical hydraulic press expeller. Further, it was also reported that with increase in
Castor Oil Application and Extraction Process
Castor Oil Extraction. Castor seeds must be shelled whether they are harvested from commercial farms or the wild. The shell can be done manually or with a peeler. 50% of the weight in the seeds is oil. Therefore, to extract this oil, the seeds have to be crushed and pressed with a screw oil press. The extracted oil is filtered and the material
Dasari et al. [9, 10] used the nonpolar solvent nhexane to extract the oil from castor seeds using the Soxhlet method. The oil yield was around 52.8% for a solvent ratio of 1 : 3 for an extraction
