From cotton seed

The source of the enzymes were from cotton seed (a small amount), from Bacillus species (intermediate amounts), and from fungi (large amounts probably from Aspergillus). The enzymes found in cotton dust caused histamine release that was reduced when enzyme activity was inhibited. 

Isolated from cotton seed hulls by delignification with chlorous acid followed by extraction with sodium hydroxide. 

Alkaloids are active bioagents in animal tissues. There is clear scientific evidence of this. Crawford and Kocan" " have tested the toxicity of steroidal alkaloids from the potato Solanum tuberosum), such as a-chaconine, a-solanine, solanidine and solasodine, and Veratrum alkaloid, jervine on fish. The results of Crawford and Kocan s research proved that rainbow trout exhibited a toxic response to chaconine, solasidine and solanine, while medaka only did so to chaconine and solanine. Embryo mortality was observed as an effect of toxicity in both species. Many other alkaloids are known to disturb or cause disorder in animal reproductive systems. For example, gossypol from cotton-seed oil is known as a clear reducer of spermatogenesis and premature abortion of the embryo.

As opposed to the results indicated above, the effect of gossypol on the boll weevil is quite different. Gossypol is a feeding stimulant to the boll weevil (260). Boll weevils feeding on an artificial diet were healthier and had In jroved egg hatch when the gossypol fraction from cotton seed was used as the principle protein source. 

Davy has, in fact, built over 20 biomass gasifiers based upon feedstocks varying from cotton seed husks to bagasse, but generally based upon wood.

These figures are based on the use of sunflower-seed oil containing 5 7 per cent linoleic acid. With other oils, the yield will be proportionally larger or smaller, depending on the analysis of the oil. Approximate values for three oils may be calculated from the values given in Note 3 above. The yield from cotton-seed oil is 26-30 g. The checkers have brominated about nine times the amounts stated in these directions and have obtained proportionate yields.

The alkali earth elements represents a major variable in cotton fibre (Table 4.2) and mainly comes from cotton seed husks. Further the use of hard water can precipitate alkali earth metal phosphates on the fibre instead of eliminating them [2]. The reason for reddish shade after bleaching with peroxide is the high content of manganese, Mn -> colourless but Mn violet. The contents of Fe, Mn, Ca and...

This test measures the amount of soil (Crisco , a vegetable shortening derived from cotton seed and soy bean oils and manufactured by Smucker Co.) removed from a plate after soaking for 30 seconds in a test solution of 0.1% detergent, 150 ppm hardness, 100 ppm alkalinity, and at 50°C. The plates are transferred to an ice bath following immersion in the warm test solution to stop the soil-removing process. The plates are dried and weighed. The % percent soil removal is calculated as ...

Further, the sustainability of cotton fibre production can be improved through suitable utilization of the by-products. Linter, cotton seed and stalks are the main byproducts of cotton fibre. From cotton seeds, oil can be produced. Cotton stalks can be used for the production of various materials. Nowadays, research on production of composites using cotton stalks is under consideration (Jan, 2009). 

Only few studies have been reported on the effect of the addition of cross-links on film properties. Chemical cross-linkers such as formaldehyde, glyoxal or glutaraldehyde were efficient in enhancing the maximum puncture force of films made from cotton seed proteins. Brault et al introduced cross-links between aromatic compounds (i.e. dityrosine) in caseinate films by exposing them to y-ionisation. Puncture strength and puncture deformation were both increased but this effect was very dependant of the ratio glycerol/protein. 

The raw materials employed in Morfit s system include thirty-one varieties of commercial fat acids bat he gives the preference to oleic acid prepared from cotton-seed oil. 

Gotsypol an aromatic triterpene from cotton seed (Gossypum hirsiuum). M, 518.54, m.p. 184°C from ether, 199"C from chloroform, 214°C from light petroleum. G. is biosynthesized from mevalonic acid via neryl pyrophosphate and cisjcis-famesyl pyrophosphate. It is somewhat poisonous, and has been suggested for use as an insecticide. 

Lee reported PHB production from several recombinant E. coli strains harboring A. eutrophus PHA biosynthesis genes utilizing xylose from cotton seed hydrolyzate or soy bean hydrolyzate as sole carbon source. The study revealed that there is a twofold increase in PHB production when the medium is supplemented with a small amount of cotton seed hydrolyzate or soy bean hydrolyzate. The PHB concentration and PHB content were... 

The extent of dissociation occurring when a soap is dissolved in water depends upon the nature of the fatty acids from which the soap is made, and also on the concentration of the solution. The sodium salts of cocoa-nut fatty acids (capric, caproic and caprylic acids) are by far the most easily hydrolysed, those of oleic acid and the fatty acids from cotton-seed oil being dissociated more readily than those of stearic acid and taUow fatty acids. The decomposition increases with the amount of water employed.
