New Solvent Found Boosts Cottonseed Oil Yields
Austin Texas INS reports a Texas A and M college discovery of a new solvent by the Texas cotton research committee led by State Sen George Moffett. The solvent enables about 45 extra pounds of oil per ton of seed and removes injurious by products quickly and cheaply. It also eliminates gossypol, making cottonseed meat usable for poultry and hog feed. The expert estimates a 15 percent oil recovery increase per ton, adding millions in annual income to cotton producers.
