The publishing of this
brochure by the International Castor Oil Association leads the way for
the castor oil industry to establish the technical aspects of castor
processing and foster the growth and use of castor products. This study
on the detoxification and deallergenation of castor meal is a complex
technical presentation covering many years of accumulated technology.
For those who are not familiar with, nor primarily interested or
involved in the technological aspects of castor meal processing, we
present summaries in the introduction and conclusions of the
presentation.
This study addresses the problems of castor meal toxicity and allergenicity from its early recognition and traces the scientific efforts made to correct the problems. Investigations and solutions offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the ultimate conclusion developed by a United Nations Industrial Development Organization supported pilot program for continuous detoxification, are presented |
