• What is the difference between cotton oil and cottonseed oil?
  • Cotton (Gossypium sp.) is a commercially important annual fiber crop; cottonseed oil (CSO) is an important product extracted from one of the byproducts of cottonseeds. Oil yield varies with cotton species, places, and season when cotton grown and extraction methods used for oil extraction.
  • How is Cs-O extracted from cottonseed?
  • CS-O can be extracted from cottonseed (CS) by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), aqueous/solvent extraction (A/SE), aqueous ethanol extraction (A-EE), subcritical water extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SC-CO 2 ), and enzyme-assisted extraction (E-AE).
  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is the valuable byproduct extracted after seed cotton processing for lint. It confers a huge contribution to total vegetable oil production and ranked the 2nd to meet global edible oil requirements. Over centuries, breeders mainly focused to improve lint production and fiber quality.

  • Which countries produce cottonseed oil?
  • Five major producers of cottonseed oil are China, the United States, India, the former Soviet Union, and Pakistan with 27, 12, 11, 10, and 9% production respectively that contribute 70% of global vegetable oil production (Song and Zhang 2007).
  • What is cottonseed oil (CSO)?
  • The worldwide cottonseed production in 2019¨C2020 was 43 million metric ton (Kumar et al. 2022). Cottonseed oil (CSO) is the by-product of cotton manufacturer; extracted from the decorticated and delinted cottonseed for their used as edible oil and industrial applications (Orhevba and Efomah 2012; Shah 2017).
