## Abstract Egyptian cottonseed meats were obtained from one of the largest Egyptian factories dealt with oil production in Egypt. Studies were carried out to demonstrate the favorable conditions for cooking meats to produce oil and meal low or even free of gossypol. Cottonseed meats were condition

โฆ Synopsis
The adsorption of gossypol, a toxic pigment and the major colorant in cottonseed oil, has been studied, using silicas and aluminas of different surface areas and pore size distributions. Gossypol has a high affinity for alumina surface, the adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir equation, and the maximum amount adsorbed is compatible with a monolayer of molecules on the surface; this is indicative of chemisorption. The affinity for a silica surface is much lower and the adsorption isotherm follows the Freundlich equation. The amount adsorbed is also influenced by the pore size distribution, the useful surface area being that developed by pores larger than 3 nm, i.e., 2 to 3 times the size of the adsorbate.

## Abstract Crude cotton seed oil obtained by hydraulic press in two Egyptian factories was used. The oil was treated with different concentrations of borax before and after oil storage. Treatment with borax decreased the total gossypol content of the oil by 94.6โ99.3% whether the borax treatment w
