Castor oil is a useful chemical raw material, but the pomace remaining after its extraction is potentially toxic and allergenic. Improving the economic value of castor pomace will provide considerable incentive for increased production of castor seed in the United States. Processes for detoxifying and deallergenating castor meal have been developed along with means for evaluating these processes. Castor meal may be used as a feed supplement for both ruminant and nonruminant animals.
