Cotton plant & cotton seed

Cottonseed oil (lat. oleum gossypii) is obtained from the seeds of the cotton plant (Gossypium sp.). Cotton belongs to the mallow family (Malvaceae). The cotton plant is a versatile plant. The high-quality cotton fibres for the textile industry are extracted from its seed hairs. The seeds remaining after the separation of the fibres are pressed into cotton seed oil. The grist produced in this process serves as protein-rich animal feed.

Cultivation & yield

Today, due to high demand, the plant is spread worldwide in tropical and subtropical areas. The most important countries of cultivation today are the Far East, the USA, Africa and Europe. The originally perennial plant yields the highest yields when grown as an annual. The primary cultivation purpose is the extraction of fibres for the textile industry.

Background / history

The cotton plant is one of the oldest cultivated plants with original cultivation centres in India, southern Africa, Indonesia and the Andes. Cottonseed oil has been one of the most widely used edible oils in the USA since around 1800 and is valued as a traditional foodstuff in many cotton-producing countries because of its mild taste.
