The reaction conditions optimization, including the temperature of the reaction, amount of catalyst required, and reaction time for the linoleic acids (LAs) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) production by catalytic dehydration of castor oil via saponification was investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). It was confirmed that all three parameters (temperature, time, and amount of catalyst) were influential factors in isolating LAs and CLAs. When the temperature was increased, the iodine value increased, and the reaction time and catalyst amount increased. The optimal reaction conditions were: 240 ℃, 2.2 h reaction time, and 7 wt% catalyst amount. The maximum iodine value reached 156.25 with 91.69% conversion to the essential fatty acids.

The fatty acids content of castor (Ricinus communis L.) seed oil is 80-90% ricinoleic acid, which is a hydroxy fatty acid (HFA). The structures and functional groups of HFAs are different from those of common fatty acids and are useful for various industrial applications. However, castor seeds contain the toxin ricin and an allergenic protein, which limit their cultivation. Accordingly, many researchers are conducting studies to enhance the production of HFAs in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant for oil crops. Oleate 12-hydroxylase from castor (RcFAH12), which synthesizes HFA (18:1-OH), was transformed into an Arabidopsis fae1 mutant, resulting in the CL37 line producing a maximum of 17% HFA content. In addition, castor phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-2 (RcPDAT1-2), which catalyzes the production of triacylglycerol by transferring HFA from phosphatidylcholine to diacylglycerol, was transformed into the CL37 line to develop a P327 line that produces 25% HFA. In this study, we investigated changes in HFA content when endogenous Arabidopsis PDAT1 (AtPDAT1) of the P327 line was edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. The successful mutation resulted in three independent lines with different mutation patterns, which were transmitted until the T4 generation. Fatty acid analysis of the seeds showed that HFA content decreased in all three mutant lines. These findings indicate that AtPDAT1 as well as RcPDAT1-2 in the P327 line are involved in transferring and increasing HFAs to triacylglycerol.

BACKGROUND: Castor oil and wormseed extract are important active ingredients for biopesticide, and ricinoleic acid in castor oil and three monoterpenes (ascaridole, carvacrol and p-cymene) in wormseed extract are known bioactive substances. However, their stabilities had not been studied, even though the stability was the core property for estimation of shelf-life of biopesticide. Aimed to investigate the thermal stabilities of the bioactive substances in castor oil and wormseed extracts. METHODS AND RESULTS: The contents of ricinoleic acid and three monoterpenes (ascaridole, carvacrol and p-cymene) were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The thermal stabilities of the bioactive substance were measured at $0^{\circ}C$, $23^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ and $54^{\circ}C$ for 84 d. The half-lives of ricinoleic acid in biopesticides was ranged from 28.9 d to 57.8 d at $30^{\circ}C$, and the stability of pure castor oil were located in the range ($t_{1/2}$=46.2d for Indian product and 27.7 d for Korean product) at the same temperature. The half-lives of the total monoterpenes in biopesticides were ranged from 3.9 d to 27.7 d at $30^{\circ}C$. Among the monoterpenes, the stability ascaridole and p-cymene were decreased in acidic condition. All the bioactive substances showed similar stability on the different thermal conditions. CONCLUSION:The half-lives of most bioactive substance from castor oil and wormseed extracts were less than 100 d. To increase the stability of bioactive substance in biopesticide, stabilizing additives like antioxidant and oxygen remover should be considered to extend of the shelf-life.

실리콘(Si) 활물질은 낮은 전위와 높은 에너지 밀도를 가지고 있어 현재 활용되고 있는 흑연을 대체할 수 있는 소재로 기대되고 있다. 그러나 반복적인 충, 방전 과정 중 부피 팽창으로 인한 실리콘 입자의 붕괴와 지속적인 전해질 분해 반응이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 실리콘 음극에 대한 효과적인 바인더로서 가교 결합이 가능한 Castor oil 기반의 수분산 폴리우레탄을 제조하였으며(CWPU), 이를 다량의 Oxirane 작용기를 가진 Tris(2,3-epoxypropyl) isocyanurate (TGIC)와 결합시켜 기계적으로 안정한 3차원 네트워크 구조를 형성하였다. CWPU-TGIC 바인더로 제조된 실리콘 음극은 안정적인 장기 수명 특성뿐만 아니라 우수한 방전 용량을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 CWPU-TGIC 바인더가 장기간 반복되는 충, 방전 과정 동안 실리콘 음극의 큰 부피 변화를 효과적으로 완화하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 실리콘 음극의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 친환경 바인더의 가능성을 제시한다.

전분을 이용한 환경친화성 고분자 플라스틱 재료에는 전분충진형, blend형 등이 있으나, 대체로 전분은 보조재료로 사용된다. 이에 반해 extruder를 이용한 전분발포체나 TPS (Thermoplastic starch) 등은 전분을 주재료로 사용하여 플라스틱 재료를 만드는 것이지만, TPS 필름의 Tg가 실온보다 높아 glassy 상태의 brittle한 성질로 인해 물성이 낮으며, 수분 친화적인 성질로 인해 플라스틱 재료로서의 사용이 제한되는 단점이 있다[1,2]. (중략)

피마자유와 메탄올의 transesterification 반응 (methanolysis)에서 Novozym 435가 가장 좋은 활성을 나타냈다. Novozym 435의 경우 유기용매를 사용하지 않을 경우에도 좋은 활성을 유지하였고 사용되는 효소량에 따라 최적의 유기용매가 다르다는 것을 확인하였다. 0.5 wt% Novozym 435를 사용한 경우 DIPE를 사용하였을 매 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었으나, 1.0 wt% 의 경우에는 heptane을 이용하였을 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. Novozym 435를 이용한 피마자유의 methanolysis에서 methanol 에 의한 저해 반응이 나타나고 oil과 methanol의 몰 비 가 약 1:7.37 일 경우 최대의 ricinoJeic acid methyl ester 를 얻을 수 있었다. 1.0wt%의 Novozym 435를 이용한 methanolysis를 통하여 하루동안 피마자유로부터 ricinoleic acid methyl ester 를 86.1% 의 수율로 얻을 수 있었다.

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are products of condensed ethylene oxide and water that can have various derivatives and functions. Since many PEG types are hydrophilic, they are favorably used as penetration enhancers, especially in topical dermatological preparations. PEGs, together with their typically nonionic derivatives, are broadly utilized in cosmetic products as surfactants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humectants, and skin conditioners. The compounds studied in this review include PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. Overall, much of the data available in this review are on PEGylated oils (PEG-40 and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oils), which were recommended as safe for use in cosmetics up to 100% concentration. Currently, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate and PEGylated oils are considered safe for cosmetic use according to the results of relevant studies. Additionally, PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer should be further studied to ensure its safety as a cosmetic ingredient.

This study was performed to identify the effect of Backchulsan and Backpeundu, on the muco-substances of the goblet cells in the small and large intestines of the mouse. After injected castor oil into oral cavity, the experimental animals were administrated with 5.952mg per 30g body weight of Backchulsan, with 0.519mg per 30g body weight of Backpeundu. The specimens used in this study were obtained from the small and large intestines of the mouse. All specimens were stained with periodic acid-Schiff reaction, alcian blue pH 2.5 and alcian blue pH 1.0 procedures. The results were as follows : 1. The most remarkable decrease of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in the control group 1 and 6 hours after castor oil administration. 2. Increase of neutral and mucosubstance was observed in Backchulsan administration group 3 hours in comparision with that of control group administrated of castor oil, especially of the upper and lower villi regions. 3. Increase of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in Backpeundu administration group 6 hours in comparision with that of control group administration of castor oil. 4. The most remarkable increase of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in Backchulsan administration group after 3 hours in comparision with that of Backpeundu administration group.

The efficacy of Arque-Ajeeb (AA), a compound formulation of Unani medicine was investigated for antidiarrhoeal activity against barium sulphate-induced gut motility and castor oil-induced diarrhoea in rats. The control, standard and test groups of experimental animals were administered with distilled water (p.o.), lomotil (p.o.) and AA (0.007 ml and 0.014 ml/100 g, p.o.) respectively. Barium sulphate and castor oil were administered after 15 and 60 min respectively in each group of first and second experiment. The distance traveled by barium sulphate in small intestine was measured after 15 and 30 min of barium sulphate administration and diarrhoea was observed every 30-min for six hour after castor oil administration. Oral administration of AA caused significant reduction in diarrhoea. AA may have the potential to reduce the diarrhoea in rats.
