Negative result: Chemical forensic attribution of ricin preparations using fatty acids analysed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Here, samples of castor oil were extracted from Australian Ricinus communis seeds. The extracted oils were esterified and the derivatives characterised by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The fatty acid composition of the oils was profiled, enabling the trace fatty acid components of ca...
