Cultures of Alternaria alternata (three isolates) and Alternaria tenuissima (three isolates) obtained from cottonseeds and bolls were toxigenic when cultured on various laboratory media. A mycotoxin was isolated and identified as tenuazonic acid by using solvent partition, thin-layer chromatography, and instrument analyses. Toxicity was monitored with brine shrimp and chicken embryo bioassays. ...

It was observed in this laboratory that intravenous infusions of a cottonseed oil emulsion containing soybean phosphatides and Pluronie1 as emulsifying agents lowered the abnormally high serum lipid levels of patients with idiopathic hyperlipemia and primary hypercholesteremic xanthomatosis (1). It was then found that a single infusion of this emulsion given to fasting human subjects or dogs ca...

Several criteria are used for determining the acceptability of whole cottonseed (WCS) for crushing including concentrations of moisture, oil, free fatty acids in the oil (FFA), and ammonia. Whole cottonseed that does not meet the minimum standard is typically sold as a feed ingredient. When tropical storms delay cotton harvest and the moisture remain elevated, concentrations of FFA increase. Fe...

The price of feedstock is one of the most significant factors affecting the economic viability of biodiesel manufacturer. Many approaches were investigated to reduce the biodiesel production cost. The present work gave a preliminary study of two approaches to economically produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) and flaked cottonseed. One was the use of ultrasound-assisted synthesis of bi...

Protein hydrolysate (PH) was prepared from the defatted cottonseed cake by using immobilized or native trypsin on polyamide (nylon 6,6) matrix using glutaraldehyde coupling under the controlled conditions of pH and temperature. Immobilization of trypsin on nylon beads retained 30% of the free enzyme activity and was stable against leaching for more than 30 days. Foaming and emulsification prope...

Cottonseed is one of the important by-products cotton crop. Researchers claim that cottonseed with less than 0.45% gossypol quite good for human consumption and animal feeding because it a rich source protein, edible oil, energy. Total free gossypols are influencing parameters reduce nature cottonseed. In present work, multiple quadratic regression models have been prepared to predict reduction...
