Nutritional Information on Cottonseed Oil

Posted by admin on October 2nd, 2011

Interestingly, cottonseed is rich in vitamin E and vitamin K. Each oil undergoes processing during which, most of the vitamins tend to get destroyed. The vitamins in cottonseed, luckily survive the processing. And you are well aware of the benefits of these vitamins for the body. If we consider 1 tablespoon of cottonseed oil to determine its nutrition, it contains about 13 gm of fat, out of which, 7 gm is polyunsaturated fat, 2.5 gm is monounsaturated fat and 3.5 gm is saturated fat. Thus you can see, the nutritional profile of this oil is quite similar to other oils. Cottonseed oil is also rich in micronutrients that can benefit the body.

So, is Cottonseed Oil Healthy?
There cannot be a ‘yes/no’ answer about the use of cottonseed oil for cooking. As far as the nutritional profile of cottonseed oil is concerned, it is quite similar to other oils, thus qualifying it as an oil that can be used for cooking, although nutritionists opine that cottonseed oil is not healthy due to the high proportions of saturated fats in it. The safety of the oil also comes under scrutiny because, as I had said earlier, cotton crop is not classified as a food crop and may contain high proportions of unsafe residues. But cottonseed oil is also a vegetable oil and lends a good flavor to seafoods, it also requires minimal hydrogenation and is free from trans fats. For people watching their weight, it is best to avoid cottonseed oil. The use of this oil should be restricted for frying food or commercial purposes. While storing the oil, a tightly sealed container should be used and while heating it, the temperature should not exceed 193ºC. The use of copper should be avoided while using the oil as it is said to deteriorate oil faster.

In summation, although cottonseed oil is a healthy oil, its use should be limited to salad dressings and for frying seafood. At least, weight watchers should avoid using the oil. There are some dangers associated with cottonseed oil owing to the high levels of triglycerides in it. Some people are also said to develop allergy to the oil, and so it should be avoided. It is thus better if you opt for other oils like olive or canola oil for cooking purposes. Stay safe.
