FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revisior, ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 17 August 1973, after the draft finalized by the
Oils and Oilseeds Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Chemical Division Council and the Agricultural and Food Products
Division Council.
.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1954 and subsequently revised
in 1966. An Amendment No. 1 to the first revision was Issued
in November 1969 in order to bring the medicinal grade castor oil in line
with the requirements of the pharmaceutical grade prescribed in the
Indian Pharmacopoeia. Later, some more comments had been received
and their consideration has led to second revision of this standard. In
this revision the requirement for ash content has been deleted as it was
considered not to serve any purpose. Furthermore the lim,its for the
moisture and volatile matter content of the medicinal grade of castor oil
have been raised in view of the actual experience. The physical
description of firsts and commercial grades have also been modified.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a teat or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS: 2-1960. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this atandard.

1. ICOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes requirements and methods of sampling and
teat for castor oil.

APPENDIX A
( Claw, 4.2.2 )
DETERMINATION OF TURBIDITY ON SIUCA SCALE
A-I. TERMINOLOGY
A-I.I For the purpose of this test, the following definition shall apply.

A-I.I.I Silica Scale Unit -Turbidity imparted by 1 mg of fullen'

earth when suspended in I 000 ml of distilled water.
A-2.

~REPARATION

OF TURBIDITY STANDARDS
A-2.1 Mix slowly with constant stirring 5-000 g of fullers' earth,
previously dried and sieved through 7S-micron IS Sieve (SI' 18:460-

1962*), with distilled water and dilute it to 1000 mi. Agitate

intermittently for one hour and then allow to stand for 24 hour
Withdraw the supernatant liquid without disturbing the sediment.
Evaporate about 50 ml of the removed liquid, dry the residue at
105 2C and weigh the residue to determine the amount of clay in
suspension. Prepare turbidity standards with this standardized stock
suspension with distilled water. A drop of saturated mercuric chloride
solution may be added as preservative. The standards are stable for
3 months.

A-3. PROCEDURE
A-3.1 Pour the sample after thorough shaking into a clear glasa bottle of
suitable capacity, say, one litre. Compare it with the turbidity standards
contained in similar bottles, holding them against a suitable background
and using a source of light which illuminates them equally and is placed
so that no rays reach the eye directly. The sample and the standards
shall be shaken simultaneously immediately before comparison.

A-S.1.1 Repor! - Record the turbidity readings in the range 1 to 10

to the nearest unit and in the range 11 to 100 to the nearest 5 units.

APPENDIX B
[T .able 1, Item (iv)]
DETERMINATION OF CRITICAL SOLUTION TEMPERATVRB
8-1. REAGENT
"J.1 The reagent shall be prepared by diluting ethyl alcohol ( conformina
to IS: 321-1964t) or rectified spirit (conforming to IS: 3231959~) with

distilled water till the relative density of the mixture at IS-5C is
0-8303 :I: 0000 1, when compared with distilled water at the same
temperature. Denatured alcohol shall not be used for this test.

B-2. PROCEDURE
8-2.1 Mix in a test tube 10 g of the material with 4-15 times its mass of
the reagent. On examination the solution thus obtained shall be perfectly
clear at 200 and shall remain clear when cooled and maintained for
5 minutes at a temperature of aoe.

APPENDIX C
[T'ebl I, Item (xi)]
DETERMINATION OF OPTICAL ROTATION
C-l. OUTLINE OF THE METHOD
c-l.l For the purpose of this determination, the optical rotation is taken
as the angle in degrees through which the plane of polarization is turned
when plane-polarized sodium light is passed through a layer of oil,
100 mm in thickness-

e-2.PROCEDtlRE
0-2.1 Carry out the determination in a dark room, using monochromatic
sodium light- Any recognized type of polarimeter may be used. As far
as possible, make the determination using lOO-mm tubes. The temperature

for determination shall.be 25 :I: ~C.

Ca2.2 Take at least three readings which should agree to within 008 deg,
c-3. EXPRESSION OF RESULT
c-3.1 Round off the average of the three readings
place and express it as the optical rotation.
