Abstract
A low gossypol, high protein cottonseed product is produced by passing cottonseed meal through a certain series of steps utilizing conventional solvent extraction equipment, and culminating at a point where the cottonseed meal is rendered edible--for human consumption and animal feed--by disruption of gossypol glands and extraction of gossypol pigments.
