Organic Cottonseed Oil

Cottonseed oil is described by scientists as being “naturally hydrogenated” because of the levels of oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids which it contains. These make it a stable frying oil without the need for additional processing or the formation of trans fatty acids,Cottonseed oil does not have to be as fully hydrogenated for many purposes as some of the more polyunsaturated oils. When it is partially hydrogenated, however, its monounsaturated fatty acids actually increase. When hydrogenated to a typical Iodine Value of about 80, for example, its fatty acid profile shifts to 50% monounsaturated, 21% polyunsaturated, and 29% saturates all well within current diethealth guidelines.
