Abstract/Description: | The main impediment in utilizing the de-oiled meal of castor as animal feed is the presence of two toxic proteins, ricin (also known as RCA II and RCA60) and RCA (Ricinus communis agglutinin, otherwise known as RCA I and RCA120) found in the endosperm of mature castor seeds. Their presence compromises with the high protein (around 25% with balanced amino acid composition) content in the left-over oilcake, which could otherwise find use as an excellent animal feed. This review is an attempt at providing insights into the biology, biogenesis of ricin and RCA and various approaches for reducing/eliminating ricin and RCA in castor. |
