Abstract
SummaryIn connection with a study of methods of eliminating traces of “free” gossypol from cottonseed meals a procedure for isolation of gossypol from the 70% acetone extracts of the meals by transfer to benzene solution has ben developed. A procedure is also given for quantitative determination of the isolated gossypol. Analysis of four samples of cooked cottonseed meats and meal by the method showed that in each instance substances other than gossypol are measured by the A.O.C.S. method for “free” gossypol in meals containing low concentrations of residual “free” gossypol. This procedure promises to provide another analytical tool for the study of residual material in processed cottonseed meal that causes egg discoloration when fed to laying hens.
