Cottonseed oil has a proportion of the edible oils market. The oil is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid constituting about two-thirds of these. Cottonseed oil is a cooking oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plant of various species, mainly Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium herbaceum.

Cottonseed Oil Recovering and Refining Line

Cottonseed oil recovering and refining line includs cottonseed oil extraction as well as cottonseed oil refining. Cottonseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant after the cotton lint has been removed. With the aim of satisfying clients’requirement for cottonseed oil extraction, we have a large selection of oil processing equipment with capacity from 300kg to 100MT. The oil grade after refined can reach to Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Oil etc. There’re two technologies, one is batch, the other is continuous.

Oils extracted from cottonseed must be refined to remove impurities such as gossypol, a naturally occurring toxin that protects the cotton plant from insect damage. Compared to other crude vegetable oils, cottonseed oil is hard to refine. Cottonseed oil in its natural unhydrogenated state has no cholesterol and does not contain trans fatty acids. However, it does contain over 50% omega-6 fatty acids and only trace amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, and the imbalance is considered unhealthy if not used in moderation or balanced elsewhere in the diet. In the first stage of chemical refining, a separator separates the soapstock with the fatty acids neutralized by acid and caustic. The second stage of rerefining the oil then follows; this is a second treatment of the oil with caustic to remove as much as possible of the gossypol. Gossypol is a pigment which gives raw cottonseed oil an almost black colour. In the third stage, another separator performs the task of removing the wash water from the oil which has been washed with hot water. The pure cottonseed oil can now be dried, bleached and deodorized.
