Castor Oil is the fixed oil obtained from the seed of Ricinus communis Linné (Fam. Euphorbiaceae). It contains no added substances.
Specific gravity: between 0.957 and 0.961.
Distinction from most other fixed oils: It is only partly soluble in solvent hexane (distinction from most other fixed oils), but it yields a clear liquid with an equal volume of alcohol (foreign fixed oils).
Heavy metals: 0.001%.
Free fatty acids: The free fatty acids in 10 g require for neutralization not more than 3.5 mL of 0.10 N sodium hydroxide.
Hydroxyl value: To pass the test. The hydroxyl value is between 160 and 168.
Iodine value: between 83 and 88.
Saponification value: between 176 and 182.
