ESQUEMATIZAÇÃO DO PROCESSO DE ESMAGAMENTO DO ALGODÃO PARA A PRODUÇÃO DE TORTA GORDA E ÓLEO DE ALGODÃO BRUTO

Abstract

Based on the context, this work aims to: Map the cottonseed crushing process to obtain the by-products cottonseed cake and cottonseed oil. This work is important, as it presents concepts that can help in the transition of the cotton production chain, through crushing processes to obtain its by-products, making the cotton kernel have an added value. This value can be obtained through the procedures of the agroecological cotton oil extraction circuit, produced in cotton seed crushers, in which the finished products are generated, being cake and raw cotton oil. These products are transported to confinements and refineries where they are used for certain forms of consumption, which may be in the food market or for the production of biodiesel. This work is divided into five parts, the first refers to this introduction. The second refers to the materials and methods used to prepare the work. The third, presents the results obtained, the fourth part, refers to the considerations regarding the mapping of the cotton crushing process. And finally, academic considerations are made.
