protein meal.
2. Eliminates trace metals and other colour bodies.
3.Cottonseed oil destined to be used as salad oil is winterised so that it will not become

qualities necessary to meet the needs of manufacturers.

level of free fatty acids and a zero peroxide value. This step als removes any residual
pesticides or metabolites that might be present.
6. To rearrange or redistribute fatty acids on the glycerol backbone It can improve the
functional properties of the oil.
3. Oil is chilled with gentle agitation, which causes higher melting fractions to precipitate. The
fraction which settles out is called stearin.
4. Treatment of oil with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst results in the addition of
hydrogen to the carbon-carbon double bond.
5. Deodorization is a steam distillation process carried out under a vacuum. Cottonseed oil as it
can be deodorized at lower temperatures, which results in more tocopherols
(natural antioxidants) being retained.

6. This is most often accomplished by catalytic methods at low temperatures. The oil is heated,
agitated and mixed with the catalyst at 90°C. There also are enzymatic systems which may be
