Abstract

The article presents data from a study of the refining process of cottonseed oil, which differs from other vegetable oils in its complex composition and the presence of gossypol, which requires the use of alkali solutions (NaOH) of high concentration and in excess quantities. The use of magnetized solutions of sodium aluminate with a concentration of 15 to 25% has been proposed as an alkaline agent. Studies have shown that with the action of this reagent, a decrease in the acid number and color index of both press oil and oils obtained by extraction is observed.
