Abstract
Cotton is a major world agricultural crop cultivated for the harvest of lint fibers utilized extensively in the manufacture of apparel and household and industrial goods. Although linked biologically to the production of cotton fibers, cottonseeds are more than a mere byproduct of the cotton harvest. Seeds ginned from the lint fibers are processed commercially for use in animal feeds, foods for human consumption, and concoctions used in the preparation of these foods as well as numerous other home and industrial products.
