Relation between fatty acid composition and iodine value of cottonseed oil

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society

Summary

The regularity in the increase in linoleic, and in the decrease in oleic and saturated acids with increase in iodine value of cottonseed oils has been shown by obtaining the regression equation for the glyceride of each acid on the iodine value by use of the compositional data on 48 samples of oil ranging from 89.8 to 117.0 in iodine value. These equations offer a ready means of approximating the fatty acid composition of cottonseed oils from their iodine values. Such approximations may prove useful in the segregation of oils for different end uses.

The compositional pattern of cottonseed oils is compared with those reported in the literature for soybean and linseed oils.
