Cottonseed Oil Manufacturing Business Plan

Cottonseed Oil Making Business

Cottonseed oil is an edible oil extracted from the seeds of varieties of species of cotton plants, including Gossypium herbaceum and Gossypium hirsutum. Oil is extracted from the kernels of the seeds, which are surrounded by the hard outer hull.

Small Scale Cottonseed Oil Milling Plant

Cleaning: Getting rid of organic impurity (stems and leaves, hull, rope, etc.), inorganic impurity (dust, silt, pebbles and metals), oiliness impurity(grain of insects, grain of faultiness, heterogeneity seeds, etc.). In this section we use Magnetic Separator, Vibrating Sieve, de-stoner, decorticator (Cotton seeds used hammering decorticator).  Through cleaning the impurity, you can reduce the lost of oil & improve the oil yield and the environment of production plant. The material has been produced after pretreatment contains the impurities ≤ 0.1%.

Cotton Seed Oil Dehulling

Cracking: Adopting the toothed cracking roller to make the cotton seeds kernel into a right uniform pcs which can keep a moderate block size for squeezing out the oil.

Flaking: To make cracked Cotton seeds kernel pcs into uniform smaller flakes with thickness ≤ 0.5mm, less powder, non-oil spilled, pinching  softly by hand and  the ratio of smaller powder than 1mm sieve mesh is ≤ 10% - -15%.

Cooking: The process is to add the steam into the crushed/flaked seeds pcs, then to dry the seeds for getting rid off more water content. In this process, changing the protein of seeds with the water and temperature to make the oil moleculeo loose for pressing easily to get crude oil also get the better cake and oil. We adopt vertical stack cooker with five layers to cook flakes. Loading full in the 1-2 layers, played the purpose of steaming flakes, and then the temperature reached 95 – 100 degrees,  In 3-5 layers should loaded to shallow, controlled about 40% which could get rid of water from flakes.  The pressure of jacket steam is ≤ 0.6MPa. The temperature and water rate of flakes after cooking is:
Water Content: 12–14 %; Temperature: 95–100 degrees; Requiring Time: 60mins.

Expelling: Matching the modern style cotton seed oil expeller to get more oil, or you can use solvent after pre-pressing by oil expellers to get more oil. Solvent extraction is the commonly used commercial technique to recover oil from oilseeds.

Small Scale Cottonseed Oil Refining Unit

Cottonseed oil is one of main cooking oil. But crude cottonseed oil contains gossypol (approximate 1%), colloid and waxiness (content vary with shell content), and the quality is poor. It's not better to eat it directly. This is why the refining process is necessary.

Refined cottonseed oil usually is pale yellow or dark red. Its fatty acid generally includes 21.6-24.8% palmitic acid, 1.9-2.4% stearic acid, 0.1% arachidic acid, 18.0-30.7% oleic acid, and 44.9-55.0% linoleic acid. Refined clear cottonseed oil without gossypol and other toxic substance can be used as cooking food. Due to clear cottonseed oil contains a large quantity of linoleic acid, it can prevent the content of cholesterol rising, maintain human body health. Human body consumption of cottonseed oil is up to 98%.

Cottonseed Oil Market and Business Opportunity

In terms of value, the global cottonseed oil market is expected to reach a market value of US$ 5,120.8 Mn by the end of 2028. The global cottonseed oil market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.2% over the forecast period. The driver for the growing demand for cottonseed oil is the rapidly expanding snacks and food processing industry. (Read more about cottonseed oil manufacturing technology >>)

Cottonseed oil is a prominent frying and cooking oil that is used in the production of snacks, baked goods, confections, and other food products, making the demand for the cottonseed oil increase over the forecast period. Besides, cottonseed oil is used in sauces, salads, spreads, and dressings, due to the neutral flavor and enhanced stability of the oil. Cottonseed oil is also offered in blends with other edible oils to increase the efficacy and efficiency of the offering. Besides, cottonseed oil is used as a standard to measure the quality and taste of other oils, as it has a neutral flavor and mild taste, which forms a standard for measuring the properties of other oils. Cottonseed oil is also used to produce brominated oils, as intravenous nutrition for patients who are prescribed a high calorie diet, and as a tallow substitute to limit the import of tallow for textile sizing and soap making.
