Methyl ricinoleate
Methyl ricinoleate is a compound belonging to the group of fatty acid methyl esters. It is derived from ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in castor oil. Methyl ricinoleate is often used as a reference compound for the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters by gas chromatography. It has also been investigated for its potential use as a biofuel and as an ingredient in the production of biodegradable plastics and surfactants.
