Abstract
The conditions for the extraction of gossypol from cottonseed flakes and from isolated gossypol glands have been investigated. It has been established that the amount of gossypol extracted by hexane is affected mainly by the degree of stirring, the moisture content, the material, and the temperature. By steeping the flakes first with concentrated miscella and then with hexane it is possible to extract about 60–65% of the gossypol. It has been shown that hexane and miscella extract practically no gossypol either from dry or from moistened gossypol glands, and only acetone extracts it almost completely.
