  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant after the cotton lint has been removed. It¡¯s composed of linters (10%), cotton shell (40~45%) and kernel. the oil content of cotton seed is 15%-25%, the oil content of kernel is 30%-40% after decorticating.
  • What is the history of cottonseed oil industry in India?
  • In India traditionally, the cottonseed utilisation has been as an animal feed and it was in 1914 that Indian Oil Company established the first cottonseed oil mill at Navsari. Since then the Indian cottonseed oil industry has come a long way. 1. Cotton Production (Lakh bales) 2. Cottonseed Production (@333Kg/bale) (Lakh tonnes) 3.
  • Where can I find information on the utilization of cotton byproducts?
  • The information on the utilization of cotton byproducts is very scanty and that too is not available in any single source. This bulletin is first of its kind that provides comprehensive information about various aspects of cottonseed oil processing, utilization and quality.
  • Why is there no scientific processing of cottonseed oilcake in India?
  • In international market trading takes place for cottonseed extraction only and not for undecorticated cottonseed oilcake, but in India it's the latter that calls the shots. In India the major reason for non-adoption of scientific processing rests on economics.
  • Why is cotton a fibre oil yielding crop?
  • Cotton is primarily cultivated for its lint or fibre, in other words, lint is the main product of cotton crop. Now, cotton seed oil is also widely used for human consumption. Thus, cotton has become a fibre cum oil yielding crop. Its seeds also contains 20-25% protein. Hence, in future, cotton will become a source of fibre, oil and protein.
  • What is the difference between bleached oil and cottonseed oil?
  • Bleaching clays are used, which adsorb the impurities. Bleached oils are nearly colourless and have a peroxide value of near zero. Cottonseed oil destined to be used as salad oil is winterised so that it will not become cloudy when chilled. Oil is chilled with gentle agitation, which causes higher melting fractions to precipitate.
