Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The United States is a major user of castor oil and the principal importer of castor oil and beans. During the last 10 years, the annual disappearance of castor oil through manufacturing processes in this country has ranged from 116 million pounds for 1947 to 182 million for 1952. During the same period this country's annual imports of castor oil and beans have represented a share of the total world trade ranging from about 46 percent for 1955 to about 84 percent for 1949. The purpose of this castorbean storage study is to determine how long the beans can be stored and maintain their quality. Economic considerations are included of the differences in characteristics and relationships among whole beans, cracked and broken beans, and field-run beans from storage with respect to the quality and quantity of their extracted oil.
