Cotton (cotton) oil – a rare guest on the shelves of supermarket chains. The product is used as an alternative to harmful sunflower oil. Cotton has a whole range of useful properties, suitable for salad dressing, roasting products and stewing.
Only refined cotton is used for food. Unrefined is overly toxic and can cause serious side effects.
The ingredient is especially popular in the eastern culinary tradition. The taste of cotton oil is neutral, the aroma is mild. Such a product is literally a white canvas for various combinations and culinary searches.
General characteristics
An exotic product for Slavic cuisine is absolutely common for Asian countries. Translucent cotton fluid is a substitute for our sunflower oil. It should be said that such a replacement is completely justified. Cotton extract is used not only in the food industry, but also in cosmetology, chemical industry. Unrefined oil is the basis for the production of drying oil, and the most important element of lamp oil lighting.
Cotton was loved not only by Asians, but also by Americans. Residents of the United States – the leaders in the consumption of cottonseed oil. There, the ingredient is used along with the favorite peanut butter and all the peanut derivatives.
The oil is extracted from the seeds of 2 types of plants: Gossypium barbadense (Barbados cotton) and Gossypium hirsutum L (ordinary cotton). We are used to making hypoallergenic, durable and comfortable clothes out of cotton, and not a food product. But each part of the plant contains useful biologically active components that are simply necessary for the human body. The roots are rich in tannins, ascorbic acid, phylloquinone, essential oils, trimethylamine and gossypol. The seeds contain vegetable protein, essential oils, gosypins and gossypols. In the flowers used by the textile industry, a high level of flavonoids, citric and malic acids. Catechins and carotenoids are concentrated in each part of cotton, so humanity simply could not afford to bypass the plant.
About food production
Seed oils are mined by cold pressing. The average percent of an exit does not exceed 18% in a lump of raw materials. Since the percentage is small, the cost of oil does not go beyond the clouds. Any changes in the percentage of output will affect the cost in both directions.
Obtaining cottonseed oil, despite the low percentage of output, still brings significant income to entrepreneurs. Seeds are considered as a by-product, waste product when a plant is processed by the textile industry. For a long time they were simply thrown away and burned out of use. Today, seeds are used in food production, which helped entrepreneurs to enrich themselves, and people get a quality product that can maintain health.
After primary processing, the product emits a pronounced aroma due to non-glycyride components. These substances are responsible for the dark color of seeds, their dense texture. Gradually, in the process of refining the product, non-glyceride components are extracted from the seeds. The product becomes light, loses its bright aroma, becomes neutral in taste. Only light neutral refined cotton oil is suitable for human consumption, the unrefined product is toxic and, therefore, dangerous to humans.
Technological process
Seeds are separated from down by means of specialized equipment. Seeds are sorted, crushed and frayed on rollers. Faded grains are subjected to heat treatment. The oil is heated on steam fryers. The temperature in one such broiler reaches 220 ° C. There the seeds turn into a warm heated mass. This mass is packed in wool bags, put on horsehair cloths and squeezed on a hydraulic press. The technique is started with a force indicator in 70 kgf / cm². Oil undergoes two types of extraction: cold and when heated. After all manipulations, the product is cleaned, packaged in the necessary container and delivered to the point of sale.
Spheres of use
By-product production occurs during the production of cottonseed oil. One of them is the hard vegetable part of stearin. It is mixed with oils / flavors / vegetable and food components and boiled from the resulting mixture of soap. One bar of cotton soap with oils retains a large amount of moisture and hardly exfoliates. Melt the soap at 32 ° C, freeze the bars at 4,5 ° C.
Also, the cotton product is used for the falsification of more expensive oils: walnut, flaxseed, olive and others. With the help of cotton, even lard can be rigged.
The cake obtained during production goes to livestock feed. But even to the cake there are special requirements. It should not be seed fluff, and the seeds, during refining, should be thoroughly cleaned. If these conditions are not met, then the product becomes toxic and cannot get into the plate either to a person or an animal.
Chemical composition of the product
Nutritional value (based on 100 grams of refined product)
Caloric content 884 kCal Proteins 0 g Fats 99,9 g Carbohydrates 0 g Dietary fiber 0 g Water 0,1 g
Nutrient Balance (in milligrams based on 100 grams of refined product)
Tocopherol (E) 99,9 Choline (B4) 0,2 Phylloquinone (K) 247 Saturated fatty acids 24,7 Monounsaturated fatty acids 19,4 Polyunsaturated fatty acids 50,5
In terms of saturated fat content (3,5 grams in 1 teaspoon), cottonseed oil is second only to palm oil, which is associated with obvious risks to human health. But the content of polyunsaturated fats puts cotton in the lead. Compare: in 1 teaspoon of olive oil – 2 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and in 1 teaspoon of cotton – 7.
Given such conflicting indicators, doubts creep into the real benefits of the product. There is no need to completely abandon the cotton ingredient. Polyunsaturated acids, tocopherol (vitamin E) are an important advantage. Thanks to this nutrient, the human body functions well and becomes healthier every day. Eat cotton oil rationally, add it to salads or stew vegetables with it to get the most benefit without harming your stomach.

Cottonseed oil also strengthens the bone structure and helps build muscle corset. The ingredient is useful for both growing children and adults, who form a beautiful, sculpted body.
Side effects and contraindications
There is not a single plant product that does not have any contraindications at all. The components of cottonseed oil can actually cause a specific reaction of the body in the form of allergies, indigestion, abnormal stools and abdominal pain. To know the reaction of the organism is possible only after direct contact with the food product. If the ingredient is completely unfamiliar to you, try ½ tsp, taste, smell, compatibility with other products. If you are satisfied with the aromatic and taste palette, and the next day you feel even healthier, then calmly enter the oil in a permanent diet. If something went wrong, then you will know about the culprit of poor health and completely exclude him from the possible menu. Experts say that the allergenicity of this product is reduced to 0, but it is better to be careful and once again take care of health.

Why not eat unrefined product
Gossypol is contained in unrefined cotton seed oil. This pigment, which is responsible for the color and specific smell of the product. Gossypol use is fraught with:
- failure of the reproductive function;
- blocking active enzymes that are involved in metabolism;
