Many seed oils, especially sunflower and linseed, contain waxes which serve as a protective coating for the seed. These waxes soHdify at colder temperatures and impart turbidity to the oil and interfere with subsequent processing. They are commonly removed from the cmde oil by refrigeration followed by filtration, a process commonly known as winterization. 

Soybean meal is the most frequently used source of supplemental protein in the United States (5). Cottonseed meal is another important protein supplement. Both meals are by-products from oil extraction of the seeds. Canola meal is derived from rapeseed low in emcic acid [112-86-7] and glucosinolates. Linseed (derived from flax seed), peanut, sunflower, safflower, sesame, coconut, and palm kernel meals are other sources of supplemental protein that are by-products of oil extraction (4). 

Vegetable proteins other than that from soy have potential appHcability in food products. Functional characteristics of vegetable protein products are important factors in determining their uses in food products. Concentrates or isolates of proteins from cotton (qv) seed (116), peanuts (117), rape seed (canola) (118,119), sunflower (120), safflower (121), oats (122), lupin (123), okra (124), and com germ (125,126) have been evaluated for functional characteristics, and for utility in protein components of baked products (127), meat products (128), and milk-type beverages (129) (see Dairy substitutes). 

Dimethipin. 2,3-Dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-l,4-dithiin-l,l,4,4-tetraoxide [55290-64-7] (dimethipin, oxidimetbiin, UBI-N252, Harvard) (25) is used as a cotton defoHant and has been used as an experimental desiccant in potato vines. In addition, it defoHates nursery stock, grapes, dry beans, and natural mbber and is used as a desiccant for seed of canola, flax (l lnum usitatlssimum), rice, and sunflower (He/lanthus annuus) (10). The product has been available since the mid-1970s and the experimental work was first reported in 1974 (44). 

A Phenylthalamic Acid. A product of Hungary, A/-phenylthalamic acid [4727-29-1] (Nevirol) (43), is a ben2oic acid derivative not sold in the United States. It is used to increase pollination and results in setting more fmit when weather conditions are unfavorable for normal ferti1i2ation. It is employed in both greenhouses and fields on apples, beans, cherries, lupine, peas, peppers, soybeans, and sunflower (23). 

Highly pure / -hexane is used to extract oils from oilseeds such as soybeans, peanuts, sunflower seed, cottonseed, and rapeseed. There has been some use of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-derived solvents such as methylene chloride to extract caffein from coffee beans, though this use is rapidly being supplanted by supercritical water and/or carbon dioxide, which are natural and therefore more acceptable to the pubHc. 

Industrial lecithins from a variety of sources ate utilized (Tables 2 and 3). The main sources include vegetable oils (eg, soy bean, cottonseed, corn, sunflower, tapeseed) and animal tissues (egg and bovine brain). However, egg lecithin and in particular soy lecithin (Table 4) ate by fat the most important in terms of quantities produced. So much so that the term soy lecithin and commercial lecithin ate often used synonymously.

The total commercial lecithin potential if all vegetable oils were degummed worldwide would be 552,000 t (Table 7). Although soybean, sunflower, and rape lecithins are available in the market, the principal commercial interest is only in soybean lecithin. The aimual worldwide production is 130,000 t (Table 8). 

The nicotinic acid content of several nuts has been reported (in mg/kg) as follows chestnut, 200 ha2el nut, 600 almond, 1600 and sunflower seed, 5000 (40). The results of analyses for pantothenic acid are (in mg/kg) ha2el nut, 380 almond, 75 sunflower seed, 620 and walnut, 600. Nuts also contain more biotin than most fmits and vegetables.
