Even though castor oil is inedible, it has long been an article of commerce. This is, in large measure, due to the versatility of the oil. This article discusses the extraction of castor oil and its refining methods and reviews the industrial applications of the oil. Since castor oil is not edible, it could be substituted in many industrial application areas where edible oils are used. An awareness of the various uses of the oil can be used to make a strong case for an increase in its production as a vital raw material for the chemical industries.
尽管蓖麻油不可食用，但它长期以来一直是一种商业产品。这在很大程度上归因于该油的多功能性。本文讨论了蓖麻油的提取及其精炼方法，并综述了该油的工业应用。由于蓖麻油不可食用，它可以在许多使用食用油的工业应用领域中替代食用油。了解该油的各种用途有助于有力地说明应增加其产量，使其成为化学工业的重要原材料。
