Dehydrated castor oil, often abbreviated as DCO, is typically a pale-yellow liquid or a soft, semi-solid material (depending on the degree of dehydration). It is a specialized form of castor oil that has undergone a dehydration process to reduce its moisture content, which enhances its stability and suitability. Castor oil is derived from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis) and is known for its various industrial and commercial applications.
