Cottonseed products in the forms of oils and meal are widely used for human and animal food. However, the utilization of cottonseed products in human and its nutrition is limited by the presence of polyphenolic compounds, Gossypol. The toxicity of gossypol also limits to own application in many areas.
Gossypol is a biologically active terpenoid substance present in discrete glands in many parts of the cotton plant, including the seed kernel. Much of the gossypol is found naturally in the glands or chemically bound to the protein portion of the seed. The pigment is a toxic compound in its free form and accumulates in body tissues. Cottonseed is processed into oils and meals for both animal and human consumption. Toxicity of gossypol is attributed to free gossypol, as opposed to bound gossypol. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United Nations Protein Advisory Group established limits for gossypol content in human foodstuffs. Common symptom associated with gossypol toxicity include reduced feed in take, weight loss, hyper prothrombinemia, diarrhea, erythrocyte fragility and associated reductions in blood hemoglobin values, edematous fluid accumulation in heart & and lung cavities which degenerate changes in liver and spleen. Gossypol exhibits both phenolic as well as aldehydic properties. Several methods have been used / reported for the determination of gossypol in a variety of samples. Methods used for analysis of gossypol includes spectrophotometric method (American Oil Chemist Society" Official and Tentative Methods", American Oil Chemists Society: Champaign, IL, 1978; Tentative Method Ba 8-58; Crouch, Floyd W; Bryant Melton F.

In these spectrophotometric methods, which are either in UV or Visible range, needs test instrument, standard test samples are needed to make calibration curve by plotting known concentration vs. absorbance / transmittance values. For analysis of unknown samples after preparing the test samples, absorbance / transmittance values are recorded and put in the already plotted curve to get its concentration.
