This research shows the benefits of castor oil biomass with biofuel purposes, as a renewable energy source for Ecuador, as well as the economic feasibility of its production. The main considerations of every step of the business plan are summarized, placing greater emphasis on environmental and financial processes. Nineteen impact categories at the middle level and four impact categories at the final level were considered. The weighted environmental impact of the oil production for biofuel purposes ranks as a small impact: 9.74 %, so castor oil plant is environmentally friendly biomass.

Pentose Phosphate Pathways

Plastid and cytosolic isozymes of pyruvate kinase, hexose-phosphate isomerase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase have been isolated and separated from seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis L.) at different stages of development. These enzymes can be detected 24 days after pollination, when the plastids contain 14% of the total cellular activities of both the pyruvate kinase and hexose-phosphate isomerase and 40% of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities. At this stage the seed consists mainly of nucellus, that is subsequently replaced by endosperm. The activities of the plastid isozymes increase faster than the cytosolic isozymes, until after 40 days, when endosperm fills the seed, the plastids contain 25% of the hexose-phosphate isomerase, 70% of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and 40% of the pyruvate kinase activities. The development of the plastid isozymes correlates with the increase in oil synthesis. This supports a central role for plastids in oil synthesis.
