Experiments utilizing cottonseed meats of diverse origin and composition were conducted for the purpose of determining the effect of the method of meats preparation on the yields of crude and neutral oil obtainable from differently prepared, comparable meats by solvent extraction. Three methods of meats preparation were employed,i. e., simple flaking of raw meats “as is”, tempering of cracked meats prior to flaking, and cooking by the modified hydraulic method developed for use with the filtration-extraction process. Commercial hexane was used as the extraction solvent. The experiments were carried out by procedures which eliminated the effects of any variables other than the method of preparing the meats for extraction |
