  • When did cottonseed oil come out?
  • America’s first cottonseed oil mills opened in the 1830s, and by 1850, U.S. cotton production grew to nearly 3 million bales a year. The seed’s oil had become the primary source of vegetable oil in the country by 1890, and by 1900, the U.S. was crushing more than 2 million tons of cottonseed.
  • How is cottonseed processed after extrusion?
  • After extrusion, cottonseed can be fed into a screw press like the Anderson Oil Expeller®, which uses physical force to separate the oil from the solid meal. Processing cottonseed with a combination of extrusion cooking and Expeller® pressing can reduce oil residuals to less than 6% while minimizing toxins.
  • How did cottonseed oil become a popular vegetable oil?
  • The seed’s oil had become the primary source of vegetable oil in the country by 1890, and by 1900, the U.S. was crushing more than 2 million tons of cottonseed. The oil’s cooking potential was driven by popular products like Crisco, which was short for “crystallized cottonseed oil,” and Wesson cooking oil.
  • How much oil does cottonseed produce?
  • Processing cottonseed with a combination of extrusion cooking and Expeller® pressing can reduce oil residuals to less than 6% while minimizing toxins. One ton of crushed cottonseed yields about 45% meal, 27% hull, 16% crude oil, and 8% linters.
