Cottonseed Acid Oil; Acidulated Cottonseed Oil; Cottonseed Fatty Acid; Cotton Oil Acid

CAS 8001-29-4

Chemical Formula Not a single formula (mixture of fatty acids – mainly C16–C18 range)

Molecular Weight Variable (approx. 270 – 300 g/mol average for fatty acid mixture)

Cotton seed acid oil is a by-product obtained during the refining of crude cottonseed oil. It is generated mainly from the soap stock formed in the neutralization process of edible oil refining. This oil is dark in color with a characteristic fatty odor and is widely used as an economical raw material in various industries. Cotton seed acid oil finds major applications in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, fatty acids, animal feed supplements, and biodiesel production.
