Crude Cottonseed Oil

Crude Cottonseed Oil – Unrefined Base for Refining and Industrial Processing

Product Overview

Crude Cottonseed Oil is the unrefined oil obtained from the seeds of the cotton plant (Gossypium spp.) after ginning and mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. Naturally golden in color and rich in linoleic acid, it serves as a primary raw material for refining, hydrogenation, and industrial manufacturing. Once refined, it becomes a popular edible oil used in bakery, snack, and frying applications due to its stability and mild taste.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Crude Cottonseed Oil (CCSO) sourced from certified producers operating under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our product is carefully filtered and standardized to meet international refining specifications, ensuring low impurity levels, stable composition, and reliable quality for both food and non-food industries.
