ABSTRACT
The crude
oil of Malaysian castor bean Ricinus communis L. seed was extracted by Soxhlet method using
hexane. The physicochemical characteristics of castor bean oil were evaluated.
The results showed that Malaysian castor seeds contain a relatively high
percentage of total lipids content; 43.3% (per dry weight), high iodine value
(84.5 mg/g) and saponification value (182.96 mg/g). The seed oil moisture
content, acid value and free fatty acid percentage (% FFA) were 0.2%, 4.88 mg/g and 3.4%, respectively. The unsaturated
fatty acids (UFA) content
were 97.5% of the total fatty acids composition. Ricinoleic acid comprises over
84% while other fatty acids present were linoleic (7.3%), oleic (5.5%),
palmitic (1.3%), stearic (1.2%) and linolenic (0.5%), respectively. Five types
of castor bean seed oil triacylglycerols were identified as triricinolein, RRR (84.1%), diricinoleoylstearoylglycerol, RRS (8.2%), diricinoleoyloleoyl-glycerol, RRO (5.6%), diricinoleoyllinoleoylglycerol, RRL (1.2%) and diricinoleoylpalmitoyl-glycerol, RRP (0.9%), respectively.

ABSTRAK
Minyak
mentah biji Ricinus
communis L. telah diekstrak menggunakan pelarut heksana melalui kaedah
Sokhlet. Sifat-sifat fizikokimia minyak telah dikaji. Minyak biji jarak
mempunyai peratusan lemak kasar per berat kering 43.3 % dan nilai iodin yang
agak tinggi iaitu 84.5 mg/g serta nilai penyabunan, 182.96 mg/g. Kandungan
kelembapan sampel, nilai asid serta peratus asid lemak bebas masing-masing
0.2%, 4.88 mg/g, 3.4%. Komposisi asid lemak minyak jarak yang diekstrak ditentukan
menggunakan Kromatografi gas (GC).
Daripada keseluruhan asid lemak, peratusan asid risinoleik adalah paling tinggi
iaitu 84% manakala asid lemak lain yang hadir adalah linoleik (7.3%), oleik
(5.5%), palmitik (1.3%), stearik (1.2%) serta linolenik (0.5%). Kandungan asid
lemak taktepu keseluruhan dalam minyak adalah 97.5%. Sekurang-kurangnya lima
triasilgliserol berbeza telah dikenalpasti iaitu masing-masing tririsinolein, RRR (84.1%), dirisinoleoilstearoilgliserol, RRS (8.2%), dirisinoleoiloleoilgliserol, RRO (5.6%), dirisinoleoillinoleoilgliserol, RRL (1.2%) dan dirisinoleoilpalmitoilgliserol, RRP (0.9%).
