Cotton has long been known as nature's unique food and fiber plant. cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plant ( Gossypium hirsutum Linn). The cottonseed itself is very similar to other oilseeds such as sunflower seed, having an oil bearing kernel surrounded by a hard outer hull. The oil is extracted from the kernel. Cotton (oil) is also one of the big four (soy, corn, rapeseed/canola, [ 1 ] and cotton) genetically modified crops grown around the world. Cottonseed oil is a favorite for salad oil, mayonnaise, salad dressing, and similar products because of its flavor stability. [ 2 ]
