C. Kapseu et al., ANALYSIS OF COTTONSEED OIL AND ITS FRACTIONS BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNINGCALORIMETRY, Journal of food engineering, 21(2), 1994, pp. 225-234
This study yielded thermograms for cottonseed oil between 25 and 110-d
egrees-C and quantified the variation of the enthalpy and specific hea
t versus temperature of this oil and its fractions. The method used di
fferential scanning calorimetric analysis. The enthalpy is a linear fu
nction of temperature while the specific heat of the cottonseed oil an
d its fractions varies very little between 25 and 110-degrees-C. This
work showed that the thermodynamic properties of the solid and liquid
fractions are similar over the range of temperature covered.
