Abstract: The present study was carried to investigate the nutritive quality of cottonseed and oil of Gossypium arboreum species, (karangunni) variety. This variety is native to India, but it found less utilizations in food application as the availability of other hybrid cottonseeds. The parameters were studied in proximate analysis include moisture, crude protein, crude fiber, ash content, fat, and total carbohydrate content of the seed. The chemical parameters were studied for the oil include iodine value, saponification value, free fatty acid value and the acid value. The proximate values obtained are moisture content 7.96 ± 0.35, crude protein 20.36± 06, crude fiber 18.27 ± 0.6, ash content 5.03 ± 0.6, fat content 18.31 ± 0.5, carbohydrates 30.06 ± 1.0, and energy value 376.9. The chemical properties values obtained are iodine value 109 ± 1.14, saponification value 182.13 ± 1.65, free fatty acid 1.71 ± 0.11, and acid value 2.95± 0.1, volatile matter 0.42 ± 0.08. Above analysis depicts the potential of Gossypium arboreum (karangunni variety) use in food application like other cottonseed variety.
