Cotton seed oil is derived from the seeds of the cotton plant, scientifically known as Gossypium hirsutum. The cotton plant is a small to medium-sized shrub, typically reaching a height of 3 to 6 feet. It features broad, lobed leaves and attractive, colorful flowers, which vary in color from white to shades of yellow and pink. Cotton plants produce capsules or bolls, which contain the cotton seeds that are used to extract cottonseed oil.
Oil seed cake is a byproduct of oilseed processing, primarily derived from plants like soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed (canola), cottonseeds, and more. These oilseeds are cultivated for their oil-rich seeds, but the remaining cake after oil extraction has valuable uses too.
