This article is based on a presentation by E.W. Lusas of the Food Protein Research and Development Center, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-2476. Co-authors include L.R. Watkins, now a consultant, and S.S. Koseoglu, K.C. Rhee, E. Hernandez, M.N. Riaz, W.H. Johnson Jr., and S.C. Doty of Texas A&M University. This paper presents additional information and summarizes the findings of a four-year project to evaluate isopropyl alcohol as an alternative to hexane for extracting cottonseed, soybean, and peanut oils. Progress reports have been published (1-3). Research details and data will be presented in a chapter in Technology and Solvents for Extracting Non-Petroleum Oils, P.J. Wan and P.J. Wakelyn, editors, to be published by AOCS Press of Champaign, Illinois. Reports distributed at earlier American Oil Chemists' Society meetings are available from the authors on request.
