Cottonseed flakes, extracted 6 or 7 times with hexane or extracted 4 times with 85% isopropanol and hexane (1:1) or extracted 4 times with acetone, 4 times with isopropanol and hexane then 4 times with hexane, contained total gossypol 1.52, 0.65 and 0.42 and free gossypol 1.35, 0.07 and 0.15%, respectively. Extraction did not alter the protein content nor the functional properties of protein.
