Abstract
Studies were carried out on cottonseed meats obtained from one of the largest Egyptian factories dealt with oil production. The studies aimed to demonstrate the effect of two different methods of cooking cottonseed meats treated with various concentrations of borax on the gossypol content and on some properties of meals and oils. The results indicated that the borax concentration required to decrease the free gossypol content of the meal by 93% and to completely diminish the total gossypol content of the oil depended on the methods of cooking the meats. The crude oil obtained from the borax treated cooked meats was of very light colour and was easily bleached. The crude protein content of the meals was not affected by the borax concentration but was decreased upon cooking by using the paraffin oil bath.
