Using a process known as sulfation, Praan Naturals Sulfonated castor oil is manufactured by exposing pure castor oil to sulfuric acid. 
Sulfonated castor oil specialized process produces an oil that is miscible in water while also retaining the moisturization properties of Castor Oil. 
Sulfonated castor oil is then packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this uniquely water soluble oil.

Sulfonated castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean (technically castor seed as the castor plant, Ricinus communis, is not a member of the bean family). 
Sulfonated castor oil (CAS number 8001-79-4) is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste. 
Sulfonated castor oils boiling point is 313 °C (595.4 °F) and its density is 961 kg·m-3. 
Sulfonated castor oil is a triglyceride in which approximately ninety percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid. Oleic and linoleic acids are the other significant components.
Ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated, 18-carbon fatty acid, is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on the twelfth carbon. 

Sulfonated castor oil functional group causes ricinoleic acid (and castor oil) to be unusually polar, and also allows chemical derivatization that is not practical with most other seed oils. 
Sulfonated castor oil is the hydroxyl group which makes castor oil and ricinoleic acid valuable as chemical feedstocks. 
Compared to other seed oils which lack the hydroxyl group, castor oil demands a higher price. 
As an example, in July 2007 Indian castor oil sold for about US$0.90 per kilogram (US$0.41 per pound) while US soybean, sunflower and canola oil sold for about US$0.30 per kilogram (US$0.14 per pound).
Sulfonated castor oil is a useful type of castor oil also derived from the Castor plant Ricinus communis,There is a type of castor oil that is specially treated with a sulfate thorugh a process called sulfonation and it is named and known as either Sulfated Castor oil, or more commonly known as the  "Turkey red" castor oil

Sulfonated castor oil, is used in all kinds of formulations and applications.

Also called sulfonated (or sulfated) castor oil, Sulfonated castor oil is made by adding sulfuric acid to vegetable oils, specifically castor oil.
Chemically, Sulfonated castor oil is Sulphated Castor Oil.
Sulphated Castor Oil is obtained by adding sulfuric acid salt to ordinary castor oil, forming what is commonly referred to as Sulfonated castor oil.
The addition of sulfuric acid makes the Sulphated Castor oil completely water-soluble so that when added to water the Sulphated Castor oil disperses evenly without the need for a suspending agent.
For this reason, Sulphated Castor oil is often used in blooming bath oil recipes or as a co-emulsifier in water formulations for oils.
Sulfonated castor oil is dark red in color and thick in texture, similar to standard castor oil.

Sulfonated castor oil was the first synthetic detergent after ordinary soap.
Sulfonated castor oil is used in formulating lubricants, softeners and dyeing aids.

In addition to its therapeutic applications,Sulfonated castor oil has numerous commercial uses in transportation, cosmetics, and manufacturing industries for making adhesives, brake fluids, caulks, dyes, lubricants, and many other products that play integral roles in everyday life.
The main pharmacodynamic effects of castor oil are mediated by ricinoleic acid, a hydroxylated fatty acid released from Sulfonated castor oil by intestinal lipases. 
It was believed that ricinoleic acid acts as an anionic surfactant that reduces net absorption of fluid and electrolytes, and stimulates intestinal peristalsis. 
However, a recent study suggests that ricinoleic acid interacts with EP3 prostanoid receptors expressed on intestinal and uterine smooth muscles. 
Via activating EP3 prostanoid receptors on intestinal and uterine smooth muscle cells, ricinoleic acid promotes laxation and uterus contraction, respectively . 
EP3 receptor act as the major prostanoid receptor in the intestine mediating propulsive effects on gut motility, and activation of EP3 receptors has been demonstrated to evoke contraction of uterine smooth muscle.

Sulfonated castor oil’s made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.
These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin. 
However, the heating process that castor oil undergoes deactivates Sulfonated castor oil, allowing the oil to be used safely.
Castor oil has a number of medicinal, industrial and pharmaceutical uses.
Sulfonated castor oil’s commonly used as an additive in foods, medications and skin care products, as well as an industrial lubricant and biodiesel fuel component.

Vegetable oils, due to their good lubricity and biodegradability are attractive alternatives to petroleum-derived lubricants, but oxidative stability and low temperature performance limit their widespread use.
Sulfonated castor oil has better low temperature viscosity properties and high temperature lubrication than most vegetable oils, making it useful as a lubricant in jet, diesel, and race-car engines. 
However, castor oil tends to form gums in a short time, and its use is therefore restricted to engines that are regularly rebuilt, such as motorcycle race engines. Biodegradability results in decreased persistence in the environment (relative to petroleum-based lubricants) in case of an accidental release. The lubricants company Castrol took its name from castor oil.
Since Sulfonated castor oil is has a relatively high dielectric constant (4.7), highly refined and dried Sulfonated castor oil is sometimes used as a dielectric fluid within high performance high voltage capacitors.
Sulfonated castor oil is the raw material for the production of a number of chemicals, notably sebacic acid, undecylenic acid, nylon. 
A review listing numerous chemicals derived from castor oil is available.
Sulfonated castor oil is the preferred lubricant for bicycle pumps, most likely because it doesn't dissolve natural-rubber seals.

USES FOR FOOD:

In the food industry, castor oil (food grade) is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (i.e., chocolate), as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging. 
Polyoxyethylated castor oil (eg. Cremophor EL)[14] is also used in the foodstuff industries.

USES FOR MEDICINE:

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized castor oil as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative.[16] However, it is not a preferred treatment for constipation.[17] Castor oil can also be used to induce childbirth, but doing so is sometimes recommended against because it can lead to complications for the childbirth process, including dehydration of the mother and other risks associated with any inducement of pregnancy, such as fetal distress from too strong contractions, increased risk of uterine rupture (especially in a scarred uterus), unintentional prematurity of the baby, and increased pain level for the mother.
Sulfonated castor oil, a castor oil derivative, is also FDA-approved for over-the-counter use on skin disorders or skin problems.
Sulfonated castor oil is the main component of castor oil and it exerts anti-inflammatory effects.
One study has found that castor oil decreased pain more than ultrasound gel or Vaseline during extracorporeal shock wave application. 
Therapeutically, modern drugs are rarely given in a pure chemical state, so most active ingredients are combined with excipients or additives.

APPLICATION:

Sulfonated castor oil and its derivatives can be used in the synthesis of renewable monomers and polymers.
In one study, Sulfonated castor oil was polymerized and cross-linked with sulfur or diisocyanates to form the vulcanized and urethane derivatives, respectively.
In another study, full-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared from epoxy and castor oil-based polyurethane (PU), by the sequential mode of synthesis.
Similar to the aforementioned study, a series of two-component IPN of modified castor oil-based PU and polystyrene (PS) were prepared by the sequential method.
Sulfonated castor oil can be elaborated as a special class of polymers in which there is a combination of two polymers in which one is synthesized or polymerized in the presence of another.
Thus, Sulfonated castor oil formulation can be considered a useful method to develop a product with excellent physicomechanical properties than the normal polyblends. 
IPN is also known as polymer alloys and is considered to be one of the fastest growing research areas in the field of polymer blends in the last two decades.

Sulfonated castor oil polymer (COP) has also been shown to have a sealing ability as a root-end filling material. 
A root-end filling material simply refers to root-end preparations filled with experimental materials. 
The main objective of this type of material is to provide an apical seal preventing the movements of bacteria and the diffusion of bacterial products from the root canal system into the periapical tissues.37 In a study conducted by de Martins et al,38 the sealing ability of COP, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and glass ionomer cement (GIC) as root-end filling materials were evaluated. MTA is primarily composed of tricalcic silicate, tricalcic alluminate, and bismuth oxide and is a particular endodontic cement.39 GICs, on the other hand, are mainstream restorative materials that are bioactive and have a wide range of uses such as lining, bonding, sealing, luting, or restoring a tooth.40 Results of their study show that the COP had a greater sealing ability when used as a root-end filling material than MTA and GIC.Castor oil has been used to produce soaps in some studies.47–49 Some studies also utilize castor oil in waxes.50–53 One study by Dwivedi and Sapre54 utilized castor oil in total vegetable oil greates. 
Total vegetable oil greases are those in which both the lubricant and gellant are formed from vegetable oil. 
Their study utilized a simultaneous reaction scheme to form sodium and lithium greases using castor oil.
Sulfonated castor oil has also been used for developing low pour point lubricant base stocks through the synthesis of acyloxy castor polyol esters.
The low pour point property helps to provide full lubrication when the equipment is started and is easier to handle in cold weather.
An interesting study by Singh showed the excellent potential of castor oil-based lubricant as a smoke pollution reducer. 
In his research, a biodegradable two-stroke (2T) oil, a popular variety of lubricating oil used on two-stroke engines in scooters and motorcycles, was developed from castor oil, which consisted of tolyl monoesters and performance additives, but no miscibility solvent. Their performance evaluations showed that it reduced smoke by 50%–70% at a 1% oil–fuel ratio, and it was on par with standard product specification.58 In addition to the possible use as a car engine lubricant, a modified version of castor oil lubricant comprising 100 parts of castor oil and 20–110 parts of a chemically and thermally stable, low viscosity blending fluid, soluble in castor oil showed its potential as a lubricant for refrigerator systems.59 Although castor oil has been used as a DOT 2 rating brake fluid, it is considered an outdated type of brake fluid that should not be used in any modern vehicles.
