  • How to extract CSO from cottonseed?
  • Twenty grams of Lankart-57, RH-112, F-20, K-25, and D-9 cottonseed varieties were used to extract CSO by Soxhlet method using 300 mL n-hexane as solvent at 70 °C temperature for 5 h, and result shows oil content in the range of 12 to 14.55% (Shah 2017).
  • 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).
  • What is the difference between cotton oil and cottonseed oil?
  • Cotton (Gossypium sp.) is a commercially important annual fiber crop; cottonseed oil (CSO) is an important product extracted from one of the byproducts of cottonseeds. Oil yield varies with cotton species, places, and season when cotton grown and extraction methods used for oil extraction.
  • What are the non-conventional methods of oil extraction?
  • Other non-conventional methods of oil extraction such as MAE, UAE, SPE, and EAE at optimum conditions also give better oil yield than conventional method within a short period of time. The oil quality, yield, and physiochemical properties are depending on the varieties, places, and season of cotton production.
  • Can n-hexane be used in soap production of Nigerian CSO?
  • After Soxhlet extraction of Nigerian CSO by using n-hexane as solvent which gives 48% yield of oil and studying the characterization of extracted CSO, it was concluded CSO with good saponification, iodine, and acid value could be utilized in the soap production.
  • How to extract CSO from Gossypium hirsutum seeds?
  • Gossypium hirsutum seeds were grinded, vacuum dried, and segregated to optimize different parameters: 0.6-, 1.2-, and 1.6-mm particle size, 5:1 to15:1 solvent to solid ratio, 288 to 318 °C for 1- to 180-min time interval to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of CSO extraction by using hexane and ethanol as a solvent.
