Description Legislation Ricinoleic acid is a fatty acid obtained Concerning plastic materials intended to come through saponification of refined Castor oil into contact with food: Regulation 10/2011, (FSG). with the MCA reference number 324 and LME = 42 mg/kg. Properties Ricinoleic acid has hydroxyl group of It fulfils the following FDA regulations: refined Castor oil what helps solubility in 175.300, 176.180, 176.210 and 177.2800. medium polar. Reach Ricinoleic acid does not have Linolenic Exemption from the obligation to register in acid in its composition of fatty acids. For accordance with Regulation 1907/2006 article this reason, it avoids possibility of 2 apt 7, letter a) annex IV. yellowish by light action. INCI name: Ricinoleic acid as emulsifier. Ricinoleic acid is a blend of fatty acids dominating Ricinoleic acid. It has 18 Application carbons with one double bound between Ricinoleic acid has special interest in the carbon 9 and 10 and hydroxyl group in 12. manufacture of esters, about all specific soaps. It can be used in certain Ricinoleic acid below 20 ºC can solidify pharmaceutical products and cosmetics and in saturated fatty acids. finished textile too. In the same way, it is a good lubricant agent. Ricinoleic acid is a hydroxylated product. It has higher viscosity and better lubricant effect than others fatty acids. Dosage It depends on specific applications. Ricinoleic acid is a lipophilic product on which it must be applied the Fat Reductor Packaging Factor (FRF), according to Directive IBC 950 kg and drums 200 kg. 2007/19/CE, when it is in contact with fatty foods.
