Notes:
The effects of classification of glanded cottonseed flour on protein displacement were studied. Media were liquid (nonpolar solvent) and air. The fines and coarse fractions had different ratios of water-soluble functional and storage proteins than the starting material. The difference in protein distribution was reflected in the contents of essential amino acids of each fraction. Fines or “overs” fractions had lower amounts of some limiting essential amino acids such as lysine, threonine and leucine as compared with the coarse fraction. Degossypolised cottonseed flour therefore had lower protein quality than the starting material. Although the fines fractions have lower amounts of essential amino acids as compared with the coarse fractions, they did not differ in the type of proteins as shown by gel electrophoresis.
