RESPIRATION OF COTTONSEED

An Apparatus and Method for the Measurement of the Respiration of Cottonseed.

In the course of an investigation to determine the relationship of the respiration of cottonseed to the other processes which take place during storage, studies were made of the effect of moisture content, maturity, and inhibitors on respiration, rate of free fatty acid formation, and pigment changes in the oil. For these studies, a series of measurements w-;as required on about fifty different...

Bates: Cottonseed Protein

The most serious feature of worldwide mal nutrition is the lack of adequate protein in quan tity or quality at a reasonable price in developing countries. The development of regional vegetable protein mixtures, such as Incaparina, is a prom ising and successful approach. Cottonseed is a logical inexpensive source of valuable protein, limited mainly by its free gossypol content and lysine destru...

Cottonseed meal | Feedipedia

Mechanical extraction: this traditional method of cottonseed oil extraction uses a circular mortar (called ghani in India, Achaya, 1993) or more advanced technology, such as a hydraulic press or a screw press (expeller). The cotton seeds may be dehulled, cracked, dried or heated before being fed to the press. The resulting cake is dried, ground and then processed into large pellets (Ash, 1992)....

Determining Oil Content of Cottonseed

Aflatoxin Contamination of Bt Cottonseed

Transgenic Bt cotton may have reduced susceptibility to aflatoxin contamination as a result of pink bollworm resistance. During 1995 and 1996, Bt cottonseed from several commercial fields in Arizona contained aflatoxin levels unacceptable for dairy use. Comparison of cottonseed with and without BGYF (bright-green-yellow fluorescence) from one highly contaminated (>6,000 ppb aflatoxin Bj) Bt see...
