General Description
Pale-yellow or almost colorless transparent viscous liquid with a faint mild odor and nauseating taste.
Dehscofix CO 115 density 0.95 g / cm3.
A mixture of glycerides, chiefly ricinolein (the glyceride of ricinoleic acid) .
Dehscofix CO 115 is a clear, almost colorless or pale yellow-colored viscous oil.
Dehscofix CO 115 has a slight odor and a taste that is initially bland but afterwards slightly acrid.
Dehscofix CO 115 is obtained by cold expression of kernels, which contain 45 to 50% oil.
Dehscofix CO 115 has a faint, mild odor and a bland characteristic taste.
Dehscofix CO 115 is a common annual ornamental whose native habitat is in the West Indies.
Dehscofix CO 115 grows up to 5 m high.
The leaves are large, alternate, peltate, palmately 5- to 12-lobed; the petiolate has conspicuous glands.
The seeds are ovoid with a large caruncle; the endosperm is fleshy and oily.
The plant thrives in rich, well-drained, sandy or clay loam; Dehscofix CO 115 is grown in India and the United States.
Dehscofix CO 115 beans have been cultivated from the earliest times for the oil of the seeds, the only part used.
Commercially, the oils and cakes are obtained by cold expression or are steam treated to denature the toxin.
Dehscofix CO 115 is a pale-yellowish or almost colorless, transparent viscid liquid.
Dehscofix CO 115 is soluble in alcohol, and is miscible with absolute alcohol, glacial acetic acid, chloroform and ether.
Dehscofix CO 115 is a perennial found in India and Africa.

Uses
Dehscofix CO 115 is a highly emollient carrier oil that penetrates the skin easily, leaving it soft and supple.
Dehscofix CO 115 also serves to bind the different ingredients of a cosmetic formulation together.
Dehscofix CO 115 is high in glycerin esters of ricinoleic acid (an unsaturated fatty acid).
Dehscofix CO 115 is rarely, if ever, associated with irritation of the skin or allergic reactions.
Dehscofix CO 115 is obtained through cold-pressing from seeds or beans of the Ricinus communis (castor oil) plant.
Impure Dehscofix CO 115 may cause irritation, as the seeds contain a toxic substance that is eliminated during processing.
Dehscofix CO 115's unpleasant odor makes it difficult to use in cosmetics.
Clinical Use
Dehscofix CO 115 is a bland oil that is hydrolyzed in the gut to yield ricinoleic acid, the active purging agent.
This hydrolysis requires bile, a fact that is sometimes overlooked when castor oil is given as a laxative before radiography in biliary obstruction.
Dehscofix CO 115 is an allergen.
Dehscofix CO 115 is a human skin and eye irritant.
Combustible when exposed to heat.
Spontaneous heating may occur.
