Refined Cottonseed Oil

Cottonseed Oil (CSO) is a versatile vegetable oil that does not require hydrogenation, thus allowing restaurants and food manufacturers to prepare healthy trans-free foods.

According to American Heart Association, unsaturated vegetable oils like CSO are “heart healthy” when used in moderation.

CSO has a 2:1 ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Its fatty acid profile generally consists of:

About 70% unsaturated fatty acids, 18% MUFA, 52% PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids).

CSO is a good source of the essential fatty acids. CSO is typical of the oleic-linoleic group of vegetable oils, because of the high levels of these two unsaturated fatty acids present in the oil. Oleic is the most notable monounsaturated fatty acid (containing one carbon-to-carbon double bond). Linoleic is one of the most notable polyunsaturated fatty acids (containing more than one double bond).
