Summary
Six samples of cottonseed pigment glands and two samples of pure gossypol stored for more than four to nine years were re-evaluated for their acute oral toxicity in the rat and re-analyzed for gossypol content. There was no appreciable effect on the acute oral toxicity or gossypol content after these long storage periods.
