Descripción:	Seed oil content is the main quality attribute in castor seed (Ricinus communis L.) for industrial purpose. As this charcteristic has been traditionally measured as one single variable, this article proposes that castor seed oil content could be measured as two independent characteristic: the kernel oil content and the kernel percentage (i.e., the kernel weight in relation to the whole sample weight). The two separate components provide a more precise explanation on the factors influencing castor seed oil content.
