Abstract

Castor belongs to a monotypic genus Ricinus and subtribe Ricininae. It is one of the oldest plants, getting importance as an agricultural crop for subtropical and tropical countries in the world. Castor is a hardy plant, requires low input, tolerates marginal soils, is easy to establish in the field, is resistant to drought, and gives yield 350–900 kg oil per hectare. Castor oil shows great functional value in energy sector, industry, and pharmaceutical. In recent years, it received increasing demand in the international market for its more than 700 uses, ranging from medicine and cosmetics to biodiesel, plastic, and lubricants. The oil is significant for many industrial uses compared with other oils from plant sources because of its high and low temperature-tolerant properties. This chapter has been written to provide botanical descriptions, ecology, agro-technology, and versatile industrial uses.
蓖麻(Ricinus communis):东南亚未充分利用的油料作物
蓖麻属蓖麻亚族。它是最古老的植物之一,在世界上亚热带和热带国家作为一种重要的农作物。蓖麻是一种耐寒的植物,需要低投入,耐受边缘土壤,易于在田间种植,抗旱,每公顷产量350-900公斤油。蓖麻油在能源、工业、医药等领域显示出巨大的功能价值。近年来,从医药、化妆品到生物柴油、塑料和润滑油,其700多种用途在国际市场上受到越来越多的需求。由于其耐高温和耐低温的特性,与其他植物源油相比,这种油在许多工业用途上具有重要意义。本章的目的是提供植物描述、生态学、农业技术和多种工业用途。
