The name probably comes from a confusion between the Ricinus plant that produces it and another plant, the Vitex agnus-castus.
An alternative etymology, though, suggests that it was used as a replacement for castoreum.
Emulsogen el 200 is well known as a source of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated, 18-carbon fatty acid. Among fatty acids, ricinoleic acid is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on the 12th carbon.
This functional group causes ricinoleic acid (and castor oil) to be more polar than most fats.
The chemical reactivity of the alcohol group also allows chemical derivatization that is not possible with most other seed oils.
Because of its ricinoleic acid content, castor oil is a valuable chemical in feedstocks, commanding a higher price than other seed oils.
In the food industry, food-grade castor oil is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g., polyglycerol polyricinoleate in chocolate), as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging.
Polyoxyethylated Emulsogen el 200 (e.g., Kolliphor EL) is also used in the food industries.
In India, Pakistan, and Nepal, food grains are preserved by the application of Emulsogen el 200.
Emulsogen el 200stops rice, wheat, and pulses from rotting.
For example, the legume pigeon pea is commonly available coated in oil for extended storage.
Use of Emulsogen el 200 as a laxative is attested to in the circa 1550 BCE Ebers Papyrus,and was in use several centuries earlier.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has categorized Emulsogen el 200 as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative, with its major site of action the small intestine, where it is digested into ricinoleic acid.
Although used in traditional medicine to induce labor in pregnant women, evidence that Emulsogen el 200 is effective in dilating the cervix or induce labor is insufficient.
Emulsogen el 200, or a castor oil derivative such as Kolliphor EL (polyethoxylated castor oil, a nonionic surfactant), is an excipient added to prescription drugs, including:
Miconazole, an antifungal agent

Alternative medicinal use
In naturopathy, Emulsogen el 200 is promoted as a treatment for several human health conditions, including cysts.
Skin and hair care
Emulsogen el 200 has been used in cosmetic products included in creams and as a moisturizer.
Small amounts of Emulsogen el 200 are frequently used in cold-process soap to increase lathering in the finished bar.
Emulsogen el 200 also has been used to enhance hair conditioning in other products and for supposed antidandruff properties.
Coatings
Emulsogen el 200 is used as a biobased polyol in the polyurethane industry.
The average functionality (number of hydroxyl groups per triglyceride molecule) of Emulsogen el 200 is 2.7, so it is widely used as a rigid polyol and in coatings.
One particular use is in a polyurethane concrete where a castor-oil emulsion is reacted with an isocyanate (usually polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) and a cement and construction aggregate.
This is applied fairly thickly as a slurry, which is self-levelling.
This base is usually further coated with other systems to build a resilient floor.
Emulsogen el 200 is not a drying oil, meaning that it has a low reactivity with air compared with oils such as linseed oil and tung oil.
Dehydration of Emulsogen el 200 yields linoleic acids, which do have drying properties.
In this process, the OH group on the ricinoleic acid along with a hydrogen from the next carbon atom are removed yielding a double bond which then has oxidative cross-linking properties yielding the drying oil.
Precursor to industrial chemicals
Emulsogen el 200 can be broken down into other chemical compounds that have numerous applications.
Transesterification followed by steam cracking gives undecylenic acid, a precursor to specialized polymer nylon 11, and heptanal, a component in fragrances.
Breakdown of castor oil in strong base gives 2-octanol, both a fragrance component and a specialized solvent, and the dicarboxylic acid sebacic acid.
Hydrogenation of castor oil saturates the alkenes, giving a waxy lubricant.
Emulsogen el 200 may be epoxidized by reacting the OH groups with epichlorohydrin to make the triglycidyl ether of castor oil which is useful in epoxy technology.
This is available commercially as Heloxy.
The production of lithium grease consumes a significant amount of castor oil.
Hydrogenation and saponification of castor oil yields 12-hydroxystearic acid, which is then reacted with lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate to give high-performance lubricant grease.
Since it has a relatively high dielectric constant (4.7), highly refined and dried Emulsogen el 200 is sometimes used as a dielectric fluid within high-performance, high-voltage capacitors.
Lubrication
Vegetable oils such as Emulsogen el 200 are typically unattractive alternatives to petroleum-derived lubricants because of their poor oxidative stability.
Emulsogen el 200 has better low-temperature viscosity properties and high-temperature lubrication than most vegetable oils, making it useful as a lubricant in jet, diesel, and racing engines.
The viscosity of Emulsogen el 200 at 10 °C is 2,420 centipoise, but it tends to form gums in a short time, so its usefulness is limited to engines that are regularly rebuilt, such as racing engines.
Lubricant company Castrol took its name from castor oil.
Emulsogen el 200 has been suggested as a lubricant for bicycle pumps because it does not degrade natural rubber seals.
In recent years, more and more beauty enthusiasts have begun praising Emulsogen el 200 as a natural solution for hair growth.
An age-old remedy long used in traditional medicine, Emulsogen el 200 is also said to moisturize the scalp, ease dandruff, and leave your hair smooth and shiny.
Sourced from the castor bean (Ricinus communis), Emulsogen el 200 is rich in ricinoleic acid—a type of fatty acid found to fight inflammation.
When applied to the scalp, it’s purported to enhance the health of the hair follicles and, in turn, promote hair growth (as well as protect against hair loss).
Emulsogen el 200 is a unique natural product used in many industries and many types of products.
With its 85–90% content of the hydroxy FA ricinoleic acid, castor oil provides this FA at the equivalent of a technical grade of purity, a rare natural phenomenon.
The uses of castor oil in industry are limited by the availability of the oil.
The presence of a midchain hydroxyl group and the polyol nature of castor oil provide nearly endless possibilities for chemists to develop new applications for the oil.
More widespread cultivation of the castor plant will expand utilization of castor oil by industry.
Emulsogen el 200 is a popular nonedible oil with significant industrial and medicinal value.
Emulsogen el 200 exhibits most unusual physical and chemical properties due to the presence of ricinoleic acid in more than 87% quantities.
The four functionalities, namely carboxylate, hydroxy, unsaturation, and long-chain hydrocarbon, present in ricinoleic acid made this molecule very unique in the chemical world.
Due to this uniqueness, castor oil has become a potential alternative to petroleum-based products and also an excellent candidate for exploiting in biorefinery mode as it is completely biodegradable and renewable feedstock.
Emulsogen el 200 has a variety of applications such as specialty soaps, adhesives, surfactants, cosmetics and personal care products, wax substitutes, inks, perfumes, plasticizers, paints and coatings, variety of lubricants, and greases, as well as in the food, fine chemicals, and pharmaceuticals industries.
This review highlights the potential of castor oil for the production of variety of diversified industrial chemicals.
Emulsogen el 200 contains ricinoleic acid, a hydroxy monounsaturated fatty acid, as main constituent of its fatty acid profile.
This acid is cis-12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid and has an unusual polarity due to position of the hydroxyl group.
Emulsogen el 200, sometimes described as ricinoleic acid triglyceride, is the only commercially available vegetable oil containing hydroxy functionality of a fatty acid present abundantly (70–90%).
Ricinoleic acid, the main hydroxy fatty acid used in oleochemical industry, can undergo a wide range of reactions enabling formation of several derivatives.
These chemicals are comparable to petrochemical products for different chemical applications.
Ricinoleic acid is used in pigment, printing ink, and textile finishing.
Emulsogen el 200 sometimes added to Turkey red oil and dry-cleaning soaps.
However, its main use is as chemical intermediate to produce various oleochemicals.
Its various derivatives such as ricinoleyl alcohol, methyl ricinoleate, azelaic acid, and ricinenic acid are used as plasticizer and emulsifier.
This acid is useful in detergent formulations also.
Emulsogen el 200 a starting material of amphoteric surfactants such as betaine and imidazoline.
In hair and skin conditioners, some of its derivatives are used as antistatic and softening agents.
Ricinoleic acid can be produced by hydrolysis of Emulsogen el 200.
For this process, different methods yielding high conversions are available.
In the case of base-catalyzed process, reaction conditions are mild (70–100 °C) but product acid has a characteristic odor and coloration.
For the high-temperature steam process, relatively high temperature (150–350 °C) leads to the formation of an undesired product named ricinoleic acid estolide.
Thus, in such scenario, enzyme (lipase)-catalyzed hydrolysis is the only suitable option for hydrolysis of Emulsogen el 200, whose hydrolysis product ricinoleic acid, since it is of great industrial importance, gets degraded at acidic, alkaline, and high-temperature conditions employed in conventional hydrolytic processes.
The use of hydrolytic enzyme allows the process of hydrolysis of the Emulsogen el 200 at atmospheric pressure and at ambient or slightly higher temperature resulting in high-purity products.
Emulsogen el 200 provides the best-known example of a natural oil which contains a hydroxy fatty acid in its composition—in this case, usually 84–94% of ricinoleic (12 hydroxy-cis 9-octadecenoic) acid.
A hydroxyl value is the number of milligrams of a potassium-hydroxide equivalent to the acetic acid needed to acetylate 1 gram of oil.
This is a little different from an acetyl value, which is the number of milligrams of a potassium-hydroxide equivalent to the acetic acid liberated when 1 gram of acetylated oil is saponified.
In the case of castor oil of good quality, the hydroxyl value is c. 160; the specification of fully-hardened castor oil may call for a minimal hydroxyl value of 150.
