Abstract: The lipid and pigment compositions of crude and refined bleached cottonseed oil have been studied and the influence of the technological treatment on the composition and structure of the components is discussed. It has been found that the color and the difficult refinability of the crude oil are due partially to the presence in it of stable radical dications of gossypol photoinduced in the presence of O2.
