Components of cottonseed, which include linters (8%), crude oil (16%), meal (45%), and hulls (27%). Hulls, a major lignocellulosic biomass in cottonseed, comprise protein (6.2%), α-cellulose (65.6%), hemicellulose (11.6-24.5%), and lignin (16.9-18.5%) (numerical values are taken from Dukare et al., 2023; Li et al., 2001).
