Cottonseed Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as a dark red-brown oil. It is obtained from the seed of the cotton plant Gossypium hirsutum (American) or Gossypium barbadense (Egyptian) by mechanical expression or solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is liquid at 21° to 27°, clouds at 21°, and partially solidifies at storage temperatures... 

Cottonseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant after the cotton lint has been removed. It must be refined to remove gossypol, a naturally occurring toxin that protects the cotton plant from insect damage. In its natural unhydrogenated state, cottonseed oil, like all vegetable oils, has no cholesterol. It also contains no trans fatty acids. Further, these polyunsaturated fats can potentially go rancid during the extraction process. ...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is mainly grown for its fiber, and its seeds are collected as byproducts. Cottonseed oil content is low (20%), but due to large amounts of cotton production, cottonseed oil accounts for 5% of the total oil production in the world. Its oil is rich in ALA (56%) and palmitic and oleic acids (23% and 17%, respectively). Crude cottonseed contains gossypol, a phenolic compound, and cyclopropene acids, which render seed products not usable for food/feed without refining and hydrogenation, making them more desirable for...
