View attachment 4025Cottonseed oil refining is an extract from the seeds of cotton plants edible oil, the main source of Upland cotton and its use in obtaining seed planting cotton fibers for animal feed, and oil extraction.
Cottonseed and other oilseeds (such as sunflower seeds) have a similar structure, consisting of a hard shell covered with oily kernel (seed). Cottonseed oil is used in cooking oil, salad dressing, mayonnaise or potato chips and other snacks, taste and stability because it does not cover up the flavor, not easy fumes when heated.
Cottonseed oil generally contains 70% unsaturated fatty acids (18% monounsaturated, 52% polyunsaturated), 26% of the saturated fatty acids. When it is 94% fully hydrogenated saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acid 2% (1.5% monounsaturated, 0.5% polyunsaturated.
Cotton and mallow plants (such as okra) will produce a toxic yellow polyphenolic compounds - gossypol, but there are also studies indicate that Malacca than cotton does not produce gossypol. Such compounds can be naturally colored, leaves, stems, roots, root bark, and within the small glands found in cotton plants from the seed, especially seed content up]. Gossypol in cottonseed containing about 0.5-0.7 %. Functional compounds beneficial to adapt to resist the invasion of pests or pathogens.
In order to alkali refining process will gossypol in cottonseed oil hair removal and clean to avoid the presence of gossypol in cottonseed and lead to high cooking oil, salad oil adverse effects , while reducing the loss of neutral oil , the use of low-temperature long mixed alkali refining process, that alkali refining temperature 40 ~ 50 ℃, alkali refining time 60 min. production practice shows that the use of low-temperature long mixed alkali refining process not only neutral oil refining low consumption , high yield refining and refining the base station can be cottonseed oil color down to Y35R2.5 (25.4 mm slots ) , for the production of high -quality high cooking oil , salad oil to provide raw materials .
Oilmachineworld owes independent research and development of scientific and technical personnel and mature technology. We made a long cold mixed alkali refining process ensures specifications and free fatty acid or alkali gossypol almost instantaneous , but in order to remove as much as possible gossypol in cottonseed oil , the need to increase the reaction time. By sixty to ninety minutes of reaction, generating sufficient time soap adsorption gossypol from bleaching, deodorization can be relatively easy to produce in a color better cottonseed oil. In conventional alkali refining process only need to increase the capacity of the reaction tank can be mixed with low long- alkali refining process, the operation of existing processes and equipment modification costs low. Low alkali refining process as long mixing at low temperature is used to increase the sodium hydroxide solution, to reduce the probability of neutral oil specified, low consumption of the refining, refining high yield. Mixed by low long- alkali refining process to produce better quality cotton edible vegetable oil, light color, for the production of high -quality high cooking oil cottonseed oil, salad oil provides better feedstock.View attachment 4025

Thankyou for the kind information.
We have recently setup another oil refinery on cotton seed oil as raw material at maharashtra using the technology by Sundex Process Engineers Pvt. Ltd. , Mumbai & would like to recommend their machinery & technology along with the methodology of working.
You may also visit them at Solvent Extraction Plants - Soyabean Extraction Plant and Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant Manufacturer and Exporter | Sundex Process Engineers Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai if desired.
Hope this would be of use to my friend in this forum.
Regards
