Application


  • Multiplexed PLGA scaffolds with nitric oxide-releasing zinc oxide and melatonin-modulated extracellular vesicles for severe chronic kidney disease.: This innovative study utilizes ricinoleic acid in the fabrication of multiplexed PLGA scaffolds, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of treatments for chronic kidney disease. The research underscores the potential of ricinoleic acid in medical applications, particularly in regenerative medicine and drug delivery systems (Rhim WK et al., 2024).

  • Optimizing the enzymatic production of biolubricants by the Taguchi method: Esterification of the free fatty acids from castor oil with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol catalyzed by Eversa Transform 2.0.: Demonstrates the industrial application of ricinoleic acid in producing biolubricants, emphasizing its economic and environmental benefits. The study provides insights into the sustainable production processes and industrial applications of ricinoleic acid (Monteiro RRC et al., 2024).

This study investigated the relationships between the structures of hydroxy unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) and their antifungal activities. Structurally diverse HUFA, including four monohydroxy-18:1 isomers, two monohydroxy 18:2 isomers and two monohydroxy 18:2 isomers were extracted from seeds of plants

Syntheses of four castor oil fatty acid-based novel lipoconjugates of phenolic acids were carried out following Mitsunobu methodology. The lipid part consists of methyl ricinoleate and its saturated analogue, methyl-12-hydroxystearate and the phenolic moieties are ferulic and vanillic acid. Synthesised
