what is cottonseed delinting?
Cottonseeds are the seeds of cotton crops. The cotton taken from the boll is called seed cotton, and the cotton fiber rolled from the seed cotton is called lint. After the lint is removed from the seed cotton, cotton seeds can be obtained. The outer part of cottonseed is a hard brown seed husk, and its shape and size vary from variety to variety. There is embryo in the seed shell, which is the main part of cottonseed, also called seed kernel. The oil content of the seed kernel can reach 35-45%, the protein content is about 39%, and the gossypol content is 0.2%-2%.
Cotton linters are short fibers that are removed from the surface of cotton seeds after ginning with a delinter. It is an important raw material for extracting pure cotton cellulose, and can also be used to make smokeless gunpowder, celluloid, and man-made fibers.Therefore, in order to obtain a better oil production effect and increase economic income, cottonseed delinting is an indispensable important production process in the process of producing cottonseed oil in vegetable oil plants.
