APPLICATION OF COTTON SEED

PROPERTIES: DOES NOT OVERPOWER OTHER FLAVOURS  NATURALLY STABLE  HIGHER SMOKE POINT  FLAVOUR DOES NOT REVERT  ACCEPTABLE FOR REDUCING SATURATED FAT INTAKE  RICH IN TOCOPHEROLS  IT IS RICH IN PALMITIC ACID(2226%),OLEIC ACID(1520%),LINOLEIC ACID(49-58%) & 10% MIXTURE OF ARACHIDIC,BEHENIC & LIGNOCERIC ACID  CYCLOPROPENE ACID ARE UNDESIRABLE COMPONENT

USE OF COTTONSEED OIL OTHER THAN EDIBLE OIL

 LIVESTOCK FEED  IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS  AGRICULTURE PESTICIDES  AS AN INSECT ATTRACTANT

GOSSYPOL(GOSSIPOL)
 IT IS A NATURAL TOXIN PRESENT IN COTTON PLANT TO PROTECT IT FROM INSECT DAMAGE.  IT REDUCE REPRODUCTION OF INSECT  AFFECT REPRODUCTION IN MAMMALS  IT IS YELLOW COLOUR PIGMENT  POLYPHENOLIC PIGMENT ARE CONTENT WITHIN PIGMENT GLAND IN VARIOUS PART OF COTTON  GOSSYPOL CONTENT OF COTTONSEED VARIES FROM TRACE TO LESS THAN 6%

GOSSYPOL FREE COTTONSEED BY RNA INTERFARANCE GENE FOR  USED RNA INTERFERANCE TO DISRUPT A KEY
SYNTHESIZING GOSSYPOL IN DEVELOPING SEEDS.  RNA INTERFARANCE TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN SILENCE A GENE TO CUT THE AMOUNT OF GOSSYPOL IN THE COTTONSEED.  BIOLOGIST CAN SILENCE A SPECIFIC PLANT GENE BY INSERTING A GENE THAT CODES FOR DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA WHOSE SEQUENCE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF INTEREST.  THE PRESENCE OF THE DOUBLE STRANDED RNA CAUSES CELLS TO DESTROY ANY MESSENGER RNA FROM THE TARGETED GENE, EFFECTIVELY SILENCING IT.

PROCESSING PLANT OF COTTONSEED OIL

CONCLUSION:GOSSYPOL FREE COTTON MAY BE A BOON NOT ONLY FOR CATTLE AND OTHER ANIMAL BUT ALSO FOR HUMAN MAKING THE PLANT ADDITIONALLY VALUABLE AS A FOOD CROP.
