The present invention relates to an improved pretreatment of cotton seed prior to the rocess of obtaining oil therefrom by ex-. trac ion, and to the solid product of said pre: treatment.
. The working of cotton-seed in order to obtain oil therefrom involves considerable difiiculties which result for the most part from a greenish black (1 e-stufi' or colourin -mat ter which is contained in the. form 0 small dots in the resinous glandules or globules existing within the seed-kernel, The quantity ofthis colouring-matter increases during storage of the seed. Up to the present time, therefore, a really first "grade cottonseed oil, adapted'for food'purposes, has been produced from the seed only in those countries where the seed can be-worked in a fresh state, for example in North America. But when the oil is separated-by pressing after the seed has travelled a long distance or after the seed has stood :1 Ion time Se. g. several months) the oil obtaine can on y be used for technical purposes. Even the ap-.
plication of any of the well known bleaching processes does not succeed in obtaining a bright oil that may be used-in the manu acture of artificial butter (margarine) and fat for food.
Hitherto the obtaining of high grade oil traction of oil by oil solvents. The novel process applies with like good results to fresh as well as tp old seed. The oil obtained corresponds at all times to the best press-oil obtained from fresh seed. The invention embraces also the solid product of,
such pretreatment, as described'herein.
The novel process depends on subjecting the cotton-seed to a preparatory treatment with diluted alcohol (ethyl alcohol in commercial form being suitable) before the real extraction of the 'oil by means. of a'. suitable oil solvent. The alcohol takes up the main quantit of the existing free fatty acid and of t e dye-stuff or colouringmatter-{but only small quantities of the neutral oil gylceride. This solution is then separated from the seed. The oil obtained by subseguent extraction by a fat-solvent, has a 11 ht-brown coloration, similar to that of t epress-oil. The small quantity of free'fatty acid still existing in the 011 uantit of bleachin earth e. -fullers earth y g g The novel processafiords the further ad- I vantage that the poisonous matters which otherwise remain in the press-cakes, are likewise removed, the said poisonous matters resuitingv probably from the colouring resins. The precautions which otherwise must be taken in using u cotton-seed meal as fodder for cattle, can t erefore be neglected when using up cotton-seed meal treated as stated above.
For carryin the novel process .into practice the decorticated cotton-seed for. example, is bruised and then treated in the cold '(1. e.
at ordinary atmospheric temperature) with ethyl alcohol of 80 vol. percent. The dark coloured extract, which contains the major part of the free fatty acid and of the resins, as well as immaterial oil, is separated an the bruised seed (greats) freed from alcohol. The said seed is then lixiviated with benzol or benzine or any other suitable fat-solvent. The oil thus obtained contains about one percent free fatt acid. For removin this acid and the sma-l amount of containe dye-stuff, the oil is mixed with a solution of caustic soda. For bleaching the oil a small quantity of bleaching earth, for example one percent of hi h grade fullers earth, will sufiice.
ithout restricting m self to details, I give the followin exagnp e of the process.
Cotton seed resh 'or old), decorticated about 60% to 80% strength (by volume and allowed to stand in contact therewi for say 5-10 hours, while if uantities of neutral and bruised by well known methods, is first treated at room temperature, with say 4 to 6 its own weight of ethyl alcohol of Well known percolation methods could also be used, if desired. .The alcohol of course carrying the dissolved matterv is then drawn off. This step can be repeated if desired,
