AbstractTwo consecutive storage tests of seven and six‐months' duration were conducted to determine the relative effects of adverse storage conditions on glandless and glanded cottonseed and the products derived from each.The moisture conditions during storage resulted in extreme quality deterioration in both glandless and glanded seed. The damage sustained by glandless seed was not substantially different from damage occurring to glanded seed. Neither did glandless seed appear to deteriorate at a faster rate.Normal direct solvent extraction processing methods were followed to process seed for products quality evaluations as measured by nitrogen solubility, epsilon amino free lysine, and gossypol content for meals and FFA, cup refining loss, refined color, bleach color and gossypol content for oils.Oil from glandless seed refined and bleached to lower AOCS colors than corresponding glanded seed oils. Refining losses for oils from damaged seed were slightly higher for glandless seed oils.The meal quality from glandless seed was superior in all categories measured.
