DESCRIPTION

Cottonseed Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as a dark red-brown oil. It is obtained from the seed of the cotton plant Gossypium hirsutum (American) or Gossypium barbadense (Egyptian) by mechanical expression or solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is liquid at 21° to 27°, clouds at 21°, and partially solidifies at storage temperatures below 10° to 16°. It is free from visible foreign material at 23° to 27°.
