Abstract
SummaryWesson loss and cup refining loss were determined on 100 samples of crude cottonseed and soybean oils produced in different sections of the country. The Wesson method gave more reproducible results than the cup method. Wesson loss results were found to be closely indicative of the total neutral oil content of crude oils. The average ratio of cup loss to Wesson loss was 2.3 for crude cottonseed oil and 1.7 for crude soybean oil. The ratio varied considerably for individual crude oils of a given kind, or type within each kind, or a local producing section.Therefore, no real useful correlation between the results of the two methods was found to exist.
