Vegetable oils are often associated with well-known varieties like sunflower, olive, and corn. However, there are lesser-known options worth exploring to appreciate their distinct qualities. One such overlooked oil is cottonseed oil, derived from the Malvaceae cotton family plant. In a recent study, we delved into the rheological behavior of cottonseed oil. Similar to many vegetable oils, it exhibits a non-Newtonian behavior, making it a viable alternative to mineral oils. The rheological analysis was conducted using the Brookfield RVDV II I Ultra Rheometer, with shear rates incrementally increasing.
