Coating Cottonseed for Improved Handling Characteristics

Weldon Laird, Tom C. Wedegaertner and Thomas D. Valco


 
ABSTRACT

A study to take a cottonseed coating process developed in the laboratory by Cotton Incorporated and develop an industrial scale process was successful in demonstrating that it is feasible and can be done at economical cost. The process consists of coating gin-run cottonseed with a concentrated water solution of hot gelatinized starch then drying the wet seeds in a belt conveyor dryer to harden the coating. The product produced meets well the goals of flowability and durability.
