  • 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 the cottonseeds. Oil yield varies with cotton species, places, and seasons when cotton is grown, as well as the methods used for oil extraction.
  • How is Cottonseed Oil (CSO) extracted?
  • Cottonseed Oil (CSO) is extracted conventionally by screw press and hydraulic extraction method. These methods do not use any toxic solvent and give a higher quality of oil with natural color and flavor. However, they require a long time interval for processing and refining of the oil.
  • Which method of cottonseed oil extraction is best?
  • Among the various methods of cottonseed oil extraction, Supercritical Ethanol (SE) is a commonly used method at the laboratory scale for many studies. Other non-conventional methods such as MAE, UAE, SPE, and EAE at optimum conditions also give better oil yield than the conventional method within a short period of time.
  • What is low or free gossypol Cottonseed Oil?
  • Many studies focus on the extraction of low or free gossypol Cottonseed Oil for its applications. This oil, as well as refined Cottonseed Oil and blends of Cottonseed Oil with other oils, have various uses in food processing. They enhance the stability, color, flavor, taste, and other sensory properties of food products without affecting their other properties.
