Item description

Cotton oilcake
The cottonseed consists of two parts: the hull, from which the staple cotton lint and linters arise, and the kernel, from which the oil and meal are obtained. The nutritive value of cottonseed products depends on proportions of husks and lint. The husk is sometimes separated from the kernel before crushing, but often the whole seed is extracted for oil. Undecorticated oilcake is much richer in fibre and lower in protein. The term "Egyptian cotton cake" refers to the undecorticated cake of black seeds, and "Bombay cotton cake" is the term used for the undecorticated cake of white seeds. The cotton fibres of white seeds cover the whole surface and are very difficult to remove; if the cottonseed cake is broken, the fibres can be seen.
