FACTS ABOUT COTTONSEED OIL
Cottonseed oil is extracted from cottonseed. Cotton has long been known as nature's unique food and fiber plant. It produces both food for man and feed for animals in addition to a highly versatile fiber for clothing, home furnishings, and industrial uses.
Cottonseed oil has many food applications. As a salad oil, it is used in mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, and marinades. As a cooking oil, it is used for frying in both commercial and home cooking. As a shortening or margarine, it is ideal for baked goods and cake icings.
Cottonseed oil has a mild, nut like taste. It is generally clear with a light golden color, but like most oils, the degree of color depends on the amount of refining. Clear, colorless oils are not necessarily better oils, but may have been refined more severely.
Cottonseed oil is one of the few oils considered acceptable for reducing saturated fat intake. Cottonseed oil is often used as the yardstick for measuring flavor and odor qualities in other oils.
Cottonseed oil does not have to be as fully hydrogenated for many purposes as some of the more polyunsaturated oils. When it is partially hydrogenated, however, its monounsaturated fatty acids actually increase. When hydrogenated to a typical Iodine Value of about 80, for example, its fatty acid profile shifts to 50% monounsaturated, 21% polyunsaturated, and 29% saturates all well within current diet/health guidelines.
Cottonseed oil is a favorite for salad oil, mayonnaise, salad dressing, and similar products because of its flavor stability. Cottonseed oil's light, non oily consistency and high smoke point make it most desirable for cooking "stir fry" and other oriental dishes, as well as for frying fish.
