America¡¯s first cottonseed oil mills opened in the 1830s, and by 1850, U.S. cotton production grew to nearly 3 million bales a year. The seed¡¯s oil had become the primary source of vegetable oil in the country by 1890, and by 1900, the U.S. was crushing more than 2 million tons of cottonseed.

How is cottonseed produced?

Cottonseed production is quite an involved process, from picking the fluffy crop to processing its tiny seeds. For most of history, dating back to the fifth millennium B.C., production depended on manual labor. Early hand-held rollers helped farm workers in India separate the fluff from the seeds as textile production expanded.

How is cottonseed processed after extrusion?

After extrusion, cottonseed can be fed into a screw press like the Anderson Oil Expeller®, which uses physical force to separate the oil from the solid meal. Processing cottonseed with a combination of extrusion cooking and Expeller® pressing can reduce oil residuals to less than 6% while minimizing toxins.
