For Sustainability Heads & Raw Material Experts.
Why Geography is the Secret Ingredient of Purity
In the wine industry, “Terroir” (soil, climate, and topography) determines quality. The same logic applies to Castor. The Jamnagar and Kutch regions of Gujarat provide a unique micro-climate: high solar radiation combined with specific soil pH levels that are ideal for the Ricinus communis plant.
The Chemical Advantage: Seeds grown in this “Golden Belt” consistently yield higher Iodine Values and more stable Ricinoleic content. When seeds are sourced from non-traditional geographies, the fatty acid distribution often fluctuates, leading to “drifting” specifications in the refined oil.
By maintaining our manufacturing base in the heart of this region, Nova Industries ensures that the raw material we process hasn’t traveled thousands of miles in uncontrolled conditions. We process the “freshness” of the soil into the precision of our chemistry.
