Quality Control

Our Cottonseed Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for its target applications. We offer various grades, including Crude, Refined, and Food Grade, with specifications aligning with industry benchmarks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
