Unlocking the hidden value of cotton by-products in African
By crushing and processing cottonseed, an edible oil is obtained. Cottonseed oil is the most valuable cotton by-product in price-to-weight terms, hence it has the greatest commercial and income potential. Cottonseed oil represents approximately 5.2% of world edible oil production.
Unlocking the hidden value of cotton by-products in African
Indeed, Africa produces about 2.5 million tonnes of cottonseed, which is 5.8% of global production. Only 75% of the seed is crushed for oil and seed-meal,
Effect of refinement and production technology
Of these, 尾-sitosterol has been reported to be the most abundant plant steroid in cottonseed oil (Prasad & Blaise, 2020). 纬-tocopherol is the major metabolite of the endogenous phenolic fraction of cottonseed oil (Wu et al., 2019) and it is a strong antioxidant that leads to the high oxidative stability of the cottonseed oil during processing

Low Gossypol Containing Cottonseed: Not only a ... - Springer
We achieved self-sufficiency in food grains but are still deficient in pulses and oilseeds production. Cottonseed is a good source of quality oil and is rich in protein. But the presence of gossypol in the seed makes it toxic for human consumption. Therefore, low gossypol cultivars were developed either through genetic modification or screening and conventional breeding techniques. Texas A&M
