Abstract
AbstractThe color stability of oil extracted from glandless cottonseed contaminated with various levels of glanded cottonseed was studied. The rate of darkening in bleached color of cottonseed oil during storage was proportional to the original glanded cottonseed or gossypol content in the oil and to time and temperature of storage. Glandless cottonseed with 0–10% glanded seed contamination, as might be expected in commercial production of glandless cotton, yielded oil with equivalent or better color when conventionally refined and bleached after 30 days storage at 25 to 40 C than miscella refined oil from glanded cottonseed. This indicates that new oil mills for extracting glandless cottonseed need not invest in miscella‐refining units in order to produce high quality oil.
