Abstract

ABSTRACT The oil extracted with hexane from the seeds of locally grown Ricinus cimmunis L. was analyzed for its physico-chemist constants and the fatty acid composition. It was found to be nondrying comparing oil favorably well with oil from plants grown in colder climate but less unsaturated than Russian oil. It was also observed that the oil was of fair standard and could be used in place of oil from other Ricinus spp.
