Abstract

The fatty acid composition and properties of six fractions of oil successively extracted from cottonseed meats has been investigated. The cyclopropenoid fatty acid concn increased regularly from 0.30–1.06%, a 3.5-fold increase. This suggests that the cyclopropenoid constituents of the oil in the seed are less accessible to the solvent. The linoleic acid concn decreased from 56.3–53.1% accounting for a slight reduction in iodine value (I.V.). The first two fractions had a markedly lower phosphatide content than the remaining fractions.
