  • How is oil extracted from castor seed?
  • Oil extraction is usually achieved bymechanical expression or solvent extraction, or both. Average oil content for all castor seed varieties is about 46-55% oil by weight (Ogunniyi, 2006) - actual yield depending on particular seed variety, geographical origin/climatic conditions, and on the oil extraction method(s) used.
  • How Castor oil is produced?
  • It connects a series of seed processing equipment to continuous oil extraction which can largely saving labor cost in production. The castor oil seeds undergoes many processes to produce castor oil. The following steps: seed cleaning, seed cooking, oil extraction, oil clarification, oil storage and filling.
  • Where does castor plant grow in Ethiopia?
  • The castor plant is native to the Ethiopian region of tropical East Africa and grows naturally and abundantly in the highlands (Alemaw et al. 2014) and some lowland rural areas of southern Ethiopia.
  • What extraction method had no effect on castor oil yield?
  • The hybrid ultrasound-microwave-assisted extraction provided the highest oil yield, whereas supercritical CO2 extraction showed no effect. The composition and properties of castor oil depend on not only extraction methods but also geographical origin, climate, soil, cultivar, and harvest time.
