An unsaturated hydroxycarboxylic acid. Also known as ricinoleic acid. It has the structure of 12-hydroxy-9- cis -octadecenoic acid. It exists in castor oil as a glyceride, and can be obtained by dissolving the mixed fatty acids obtained by saponifying castor oil in acetone and then subjecting it to fractional crystallization. At room temperature, it is a colorless oily liquid that dissolves easily in ethanol (ethyl alcohol), ether, and chloroform. It is used as a raw material in the manufacture of paints, printing inks, lubricants, cosmetics, and soap for dry cleaning. In addition, castor oil is used medicinally as a laxative and ointment base material.

不飽和ヒドロキシカルボン酸の一つ。リシノレイン酸ricinoleic acidともよばれる。12-ヒドロキシ-9-cis(シス)-オクタデセン酸の構造をもつ。 グリセリドとしてひまし油中に存在するので、ひまし油をけん化して得られる混合脂肪酸をアセトンに溶かして、分別結晶を行うと得られる。 常温では無色の油状液体で、エタノール(エチルアルコール)、エーテル、クロロホルムによく溶ける。塗料、印刷インキ、潤滑油、化粧品、ドライクリーニング用のせっけんを製造する原料となる。このほかに、ひまし油は下剤、軟膏(なんこう)基材として薬用に供されている。 [廣田 穰 2016年11月18日] [参照項目] | | [補完資料] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
