Cotton Seed Oil:

Cottonseed oil is a cooking oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plant of various species, mainly Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium herbaceum. All cotton that is grown is used to produce cotton fiber, animal feed, and oil. Cotton seed has a similar structure to other oilseeds such as sunflower seed, having an oil-bearing kernel surrounded by a hard outer hull; in processing, the oil is extracted from the kernel. Cottonseed oil is used for salad oil, mayonnaise, salad dressing, and similar products because of its flavor stability

Cotton Seed Oil: Composition

Its fatty acid profile generally consists of *0% unsaturated fatty acids (*8% monounsaturated, and *2% polyunsaturated), *6% saturated fatty acids and 4% glycerol.When it is fully hydrogenated, its profile is *4% saturated fat and 2% unsaturated fatty acids (1.5% monounsaturated, and 0.5% polyunsaturated). The cottonseed oil industry claims cottenseed oil does not need to be hydrogenated as much as other polyunsaturated oils to achieve similar results.Gossypol is a toxic, yellow, polyphenolic compound produced by cotton and other members of the order Malvaceae, such as okra. This naturally occurring coloured compound is found in tiny glands in the seed, leaf, stem, tap root bark, and root of the cotton plant. The adaptive function of the compound facilitates natural insectresistance. In addition, global cottonseed production can potentially provide the protein requirements for half a billion people per year. The three key steps of refining,bleaching and deodorization in producing finished oil act to eliminate the gossypol level. Ferric chloride is often used to decolorize cotton seed oil.
