  • What is cottonseed oil processing?
  • Generally speaking, cottonseed oil processing mainly including the flowing production process, they are seed cleaning, cracking, flaking, cooking, expelling and refining.
  • What is cottonseed oil & why is it important?
  • Within the cottonseed oil processing plant, oils extracted from cottonseed must be refined to remove gossypol, a naturally occurring toxin that protects the cotton plant from insect damage. Cottonseed meal is a good source of protein. It is the byproduct remaining after cotton is ginned and the seeds crushed and the oil extracted.
  • How to improve quality of cottonseed oil contents?
  • Quality of cottonseed oil contents has been improved through modification of fatty acid profile by mediating HP gene silencing technique for downregulation of ghSAD-1 and ghFAD2-1 encoding stearoyl-acyl-carrier protein Ρ±9- desaturase and oleoyl-phosphatidyl choline Ï¡ë6-desaturase. The targeted hairpin constructs were transformed in G. hirsutum.
  • Can cottonseed oil be used as fuel oil?
  • These unusual fatty acids have prospective to bring revolution in the industries by replacing the petroleum derived industrial feed (Cahoon and Kinney 2005). Use of cottonseed oil as an alternative candidate for fuel oil is increasing day by day.
  • Is cottonseed oil a viable alternative to petroleum products?
  • In future, cottonseed oil has a wide scope as an alternate of petroleum products due to diminishing non-renewable fuel resources. These biofuel resources are attractive for the countries lacking the liquid fossil fuels (Eevera and Pazhanichamy 2013).
  • What is cottonseed oil (CSO)?
  • The worldwide cottonseed production in 2019¨C2020 was 43 million metric ton (Kumar et al. 2022). Cottonseed oil (CSO) is the by-product of cotton manufacturer; extracted from the decorticated and delinted cottonseed for their used as edible oil and industrial applications (Orhevba and Efomah 2012; Shah 2017).
