  • What is the history of cottonseed oil industry in India?
  • In India traditionally, the cottonseed utilisation has been as an animal feed and it was in 1914 that Indian Oil Company established the first cottonseed oil mill at Navsari. Since then the Indian cottonseed oil industry has come a long way. 1. Cotton Production (Lakh bales) 2. Cottonseed Production (@333Kg/bale) (Lakh tonnes) 3.
  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is cooking oil from the seeds of cotton plants of various species, mainly Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium herbaceum, that are grown for cotton fiber, animal feed, and oil.
  • What are the products of cottonseed?
  • Cottonseed products yield per ton of seed crushed. Cottonseed contains hull and kernel. The hull produces fibre and linters. The kernel contains oil, protein, carbohydrate and other constituents such as vitamins, minerals, lecithin, sterols etc. Cottonseed oil is extracted from cottonseed kernel.
  • Why is there no scientific processing of cottonseed oilcake in India?
  • In international market trading takes place for cottonseed extraction only and not for undecorticated cottonseed oilcake, but in India it's the latter that calls the shots. In India the major reason for non-adoption of scientific processing rests on economics.
  • When did the cottonseed industry start?
  • Cottonseed processing industry made its beginnings with the invention of the cotton gin in 1793, that led to the availability of large supplies of cottonseed possible, but it was in the early twentieth century only that cottonseed was utilised in commercial quantities for production of oil and other cottonseed products.
  • How is cottonseed oil extracted?
  • Cottonseed oil, like other vegetable oils, is extracted from the seed of the plant, through either mechanical processes such as crushing or pressing, or by chemical processes such as solvent extraction. Cottonseed oil is most commonly extracted commercially via solvent extraction.
