  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is cooking oil from the seeds of cotton plants of various species, mainly Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium herbaceum, that are grown for cotton fiber, animal feed, and oil.
  • What is cottonseed oil extraction?
  • Oil extraction is using the organic solvent to extract oil from the pre-pressed cake inside the oil extractor. Multiple oil extractors such as loop type extractor, rotocel extractor and towline extractor can be used for the cottonseed oil extraction plant. After oil extraction, miscella and the solvent containing wet meal are obtained.
  • Which countries produce the most cottonseed oil in the world?
  • In 2019, world production of cottonseed oil was 4.45 million tonnes, led by China and India with 56% combined of the total. The by-product of cotton processing, cottonseed was considered virtually worthless before the late 19th century.
  • How is wet meal extracted from cottonseed oil extraction plant?
  • The wet meal from the oil extractor enters the DTDC desolventizing the cottonseed oil extraction plant.After pre-desolventizing, desolventizing, drying, and cooling, the solvent is removed and the dry meal is obtained and sent to the meal storehouse for packaging.
  • What is cottonseed meal?
  • Cottonseed meal is a good source of protein. It is the byproduct remaining after cotton is ginned and the seeds crushed and the oil extracted. The remaining meal is usually used for animal feed and in organic fertilizers. Most of the meal is extracted mechanically through cottonseed kernels.
  • What is the residual oil rate in cottonseed meal?
  • The residual oil rate in the cottonseed meal is lower than 1%. Cottonseeds contain a toxic pigment which called gossypol, of which the content is 0.15%-1.8%. Cottonseed kernels contain 0.5%-2.5% of gossypol. After processed by the cottonseed oil refinery plant, the gossypol content in the oil is less than 0.01%.
