You know! The secret of castor oil today, science explore.

 

The castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) is an oilseed crop best known as a source of both castor oil and ricin, a highly Toxic ribosome inactivating protein. These products are used in many country of the world, and know the used from ancient time as relief from rheumatoid arthritis, Triacylglycerol extracted from its seeds Contain 90% ricinoleate, a hydroxylated fatty acid that confers unique properties needed in high-temperature industrial lubricants and certain ingredients of medicinal and cosmetic products. The first genome sequence for a member of the Euphorbiaceae, a large and commercially important plant family that includes cassava (Manihot esculenta), rubber plant (Hevea brasiliensis) and physic nut (Jatropha curcas). The genome sequence may not only open the way for castor oil production without the associated risks posed by ricin but also enable biosecurity agencies to trace the origins of ricin, should it be used in bioterrorism.
