Cotton fibers are widely used in various applications due to their biodegradability, low cost, and extensive availability. The cottonseed is associated with cotton, which has a large yield. After oil extraction, the remaining cottonseed meal has a high protein content, making it a potential flame retardant for cotton fibers. This paper proposes the concept of homologous flame retardant for cotton fiber, and presents research on Cottonseed Meal Modified Flame Retardant - Homologous Durable Flame Retardant Cotton Fiber. The experiment results showed that the flame retardants CmP prepared by phosphating cottonseed meal is an effective flame retardant for cotton fiber. Both CmP1 and CmPN demonstrated self-catalytic durable grafting on the surface of Cotton fiber. Notably, the durable flame retardant CmP1-cotton and CmPN-cotton prepared by DICY catalysis exhibit superior durability and flame retardant properties, with damage lengths of 53 mm and 86 mm, respectively, and the LOI value is more than 35 %. FT-IR, XPS, and SEM results confirmed that the flame retardant was durably grafted onto the fiber surface and the superficial layer. XPS and SEM results of flame retardant cotton and char residues of TG and CCT are displayed that the two kinds of flame retardant cotton fabrics are mainly condensed phase flame retardant mechanisms, with a synergistic gas-phase effect.

A method utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of raffinose, glucose, sucrose, and stachyose in waste liquid from cottonseed processing and in byproducts including cottonseed meal. The separation was performed using a carbohydrate ES column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) and isocratic elution with acetonitrile and water (70:30, v/v). The temperature of the column oven was maintained at 35 °C. The drift tube temperature for evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) was operated 40 °C, while the nitrogen flow was set to 1.5 L·min−1. The saccharides were separated by HPLC-ELSD within 20 min. The coefficients of determination (R2 = 0.9986–0.9999) indicate that there was a linear relationship between saccharides and the response. The limits of detection were 0.004–0.023 mg·mL−1 and the quantification range was from 0.013 to 0.080 mg·mL−1. The intraday and interday precision were from 0.05 to 0.55% and 0.20 to 0.58%, respectively. The recovery was from 102.75 ± 2.03% to 106.76 ± 2.09% and the relative standard deviations were 1.87 to 1.98%. The method exhibited good stability in determining four saccharides in cottonseed processing waste liquid and the resultant byproduct cottonseed meal. This method exhibits high separation efficiency and sensitivity, excellent precision, and simplicity, which allows determination of the high value-added product, raffinose, in cottonseed processing waste liquid and meal.

In recent years, textiles with antimicrobial properties have attracted more and more attention. As natural antimicrobial agents, essential oils’ potential application value lies in their ability to provide textiles with antimicrobial functions. In this paper, organic solvent extraction (n-hexane, petroleum ether, ethanol) and steam distillation were used to extract saffron petal essential oil (SPEO). It was found that organic solvent extraction (ethanol) had the highest extraction rate and the most apparent bacteriostatic effect. SPEO-Ms were prepared using the composite condensation method with gelatin and chitosan. The microstructure, encapsulation efficiency, slow-release performance, infrared spectrum, and thermal stability of the SPEO-Ms were evaluated. The results showed that the microencapsulated essential oil had good bacteriostatic properties. Antimicrobial cotton fabric was prepared by impregnating microcapsules onto cotton fibers. The effects of the microcapsules’ concentration on the whiteness, air permeability, moisture permeability, and bacteriological inhibition of the fabric were investigated. The results revealed that SPEO-Ms have the potential to be used as a new antimicrobial agent in textiles.Keywords:saffron flower petal essential oil;microcapsule;antimicrobial cotton fabric;cotton fabric

The growing demand for sustainable proteins has highlighted cottonseed meal (CSM) as a promising high-protein byproduct. Addressing the challenge of valorizing the annual global production of over 10 million tons of CSM in cottonseed processing, this study investigated the use of choline chloride-ethylene glycol deep eutectic solvent (DES-4) for efficient protein extraction from CSM while reducing toxic gossypol content. Through Box-Behnken response surface optimization, we established optimal conditions (56 °C/3 h/40% water) that achieved 86.85% protein yield while remarkably reducing bound gossypol content from 10.24 mg/g to 2.76 mg/g. Molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) revealed that DES-4 enhance protein recovery and gossypol separation through synergistic mechanisms involving stabilizing solubility, relaxing matrix structure, and disrupting complexes. The obtained protein (CSMP-E) demonstrated superior solubility, emulsifying properties, and antioxidant activity compared to alkali-extracted counterparts. Furthermore, hydrolyzed DES-extracted protein (CSMP-EH) exhibited enhanced DPP-IV inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 1.949 mg/mL), suggesting its potential for type 2 diabetes management.

This study outlined an integrated approach for obtaining several products, such as biodiesel , gossypol, sterols, raffinose, and nontoxic cottonseed meal from cottonseed via modified two-phase extraction (TPE), supercritical methanol transesterification and other technologies. The modified TPE could not only simplify the steps of separating substances, but also improve the quality of cottonseed oil and cottonseed meal. The suitable conditions of modified TPE were as follows: the petroleum ether/methanol volume rate of 1:3, the extraction temperature of 40 °C, and the extraction time of 20 min. The supercritical methanol transesterification had a favorable yield of biodiesel with shorter time. The conversion of cottonseed oil was up to 97.5% with the temperature of 270 °C, the molar ratio of methanol to oil of 40, and a reaction time of 40 min at 10 MPa. Meanwhile, with the suitable conditions, the purity of the obtained gossypol, sterols and raffinose could be got to 92.1%, 89.8% and 94.2%, respectively. This integrated biorefinery could be useful for comprehensive development and utilization of cottonseed with fewer steps and lower cost.

In this study, steam explosion pretreatment was performed in cotton stalks, leading to 5–6 folds enhancements on biomass enzymatic saccharification distinctive in Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum species. Sequential 1% H 2 SO 4 pretreatment could further increase biomass digestibility of the steam-exploded stalks, and also cause the highest sugar–ethanol conversion rates probably by releasing less inhibitor to yeast fermentation. By comparison, extremely high concentration alkali (16% NaOH) pretreatment with raw stalks resulted in the highest hexoses yields, but it had the lowest sugar–ethanol conversion rates. Characterization of wall polymer features indicated that biomass saccharification was enhanced with steam explosion by largely reducing cellulose DP and extracting hemicelluloses. It also showed that cellulose crystallinity and arabinose substitution degree of xylans were the major factors on biomass digestibility in cotton stalks. Hence, this study has provided the insights into cell wall modification and biomass process technology in cotton stalks and beyond.

Phytic acid's high-efficiency flame retardant and N-halamine antibacterial were synergistically applied to cotton fibers for durable antibacterial and flame retardancy. Antimicrobial flame retardant structures were characterized by H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR). FT-IR, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Thermogravimetric (TG), Vertical Flammability Test (VFT), and Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) were utilized to test and characterize the prepared cotton fibers. The results showed that the antibacterial flame retardant could be durably grafted on the surface of cotton fibers for a long time, and it still maintained its self-extinguishing property after 50 washing cycles, with an LOI value of 32.2 % and a damaged length of 67 mm. The N Cl bond was formed by simple bleaching treatment, which exhibited excellent bacteriostatic effect, and had a significant inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , and chlorine oxide, as an antibacterial factor, could be reactivated after long-term storage and washing. Through the systematic analysis of cone calorimetry and carbon residue, it was concluded that the flame retardant mechanism of antibacterial flame retardant was mainly condensed phase. The results of the physical property analysis of cotton fibers showed that the whiteness, air permeability, flexibility, and other physical properties of cotton fibers had no obvious change, while the hydrophilicity of the finished fibers were enhanced.

Two kinds of cotton linter-based adsorbents were synthesized by grafting dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on cotton linter via radiation grafting polymerization, followed by further quaternization (QCL) or protonation (PCL). The effect of radiation dose and monomer concentration on grafting yield was optimized. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption behaviors of the two adsorbents toward humic acid (HA) were investigated and discussed. pH effect studies showed that QCL was pH-independent, whereas PCL was just suitable for HA adsorption with pH < 6. The adsorption kinetics of the PCL and QCL adsorbent for HA removal were better described by pseudo-second-order kinetic mode and reached equilibrium in 40 min. The adsorption isotherms of the PCL and QCL adsorbent were well fitted with both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, for which adsorption capacity reached 250 mg/g and 333 mg/g at pH 6, respectively. XPS analysis revealed the ratio of two amino group species at different pH, suggesting that the interaction mechanism of the adsorbent and HA was electrostatic adsorption.Keywords:cotton linter;humic acid;adsorption;radiation grafting

Gossypol is a poisonous substance in cottonseed which seriously harms the internal organs, blood vessels, nerves, and reproductive systems of organisms. Therefore, detecting gossypol is of great significance in the field of food safety. This manuscript constructs a novel target-oriented gossypol fluorescence probe based on the energy competition absorption mechanism. The probe is a zinc-based metal organic framework material (Zn-MOF) with blue fluorescence, which can achieve rapid and sensitive detection of gossypol through fluorescence “turn-off” effect. It has the advantages of low detection limit (16.6 nM), ultra-fast response time (8 s), and favorable selectivity. Interestingly, this probe can be reused and the fluorescence can still be recovered after five cycles when detecting gossypol. In addition, the application of the fluorescent probe in cottonseed oil and fetal bovine serum is reliable, with the recovery of 99.35%–101.5% and the relative standard deviation of less than 2.72%. These results indicate that the developed sensor has prominent application potential in the field of food and biological detection.

The electrically conductive and flame-retardant bifunctional cotton fabrics were fabricated by polymerizing pyrrole (Py) onto the cotton fabrics and followed by doping phytic acid (PA) via a chemical oxidation method. The prepared cotton fabrics were then characterized by Four-point Probes Resistivity Measurement, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Vertical Burning Test and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The results of SEM and FTIR tests indicated that pyrrole was successfully polymerized on the cotton fabrics. The EDS measurements showed that the phosphorus increased with increasing phytic acid concentration. The results of four-point probes resistivity measurement, vertical burning test and TGA test exhibited that both the electrical conductivity and the Limit Oxygen Index (LOI) of the treated fabrics increase with increasing phytic acid concentration. The LOI of the cotton fabric increased from 18% to 37.6% after the cotton fabric was deposited with polypyrrole and doped with phytic acid. The conductivity of the treated cotton fabrics is mainly affected by the pyrrole concentration and can reach about 0.28 S cm −1 .

Optimized management of wound exudate is pivotal in modulating the wound healing microenvironment and facilitating tissue regeneration. Conventional dressings, however, are constrained by limited absorption capacity and a slow drainage rate, frequently resulting in excessive exudate accumulation that hinders the healing process. In this study, we developed hydrophilic kapok fiber gauze (H-KG) and Janus kapok fiber gauze (J-KG) through a sustainable and scalable hydroentanglement forming process combined with chemical modification, leveraging the unique hollow tubular structure of kapok fibers. H-KG and J-KG achieved rapid absorption, high capacity storage, and efficient evaporation through synergistic wettability modulation and capillary action-enhanced liquid transport within the hollow structure. The kapok fiber-based gauze demonstrated remarkable sustainable liquid self-pumping capabilities, exhibiting a saturation absorption rate of approximately 1346% with complete liquid evaporation achieved within 1 h. In vivo experiments revealed that both H-KG and J-KG significantly mitigated wound exudate accumulation compared with cotton gauze (CG), thereby accelerating wound healing. Quantitative analysis showed that on day 12 post-treatment, the H-KG and J-KG exhibited residual wound areas measuring 48.23% and 34.41%, respectively, of CG. This work elucidated the mechanistic role of hollow fiber in exudate management while proposing an innovative wound dressing with dynamic fluid regulation capabilities.

Patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have non-specific lipid acyl hydrolysis (LAH) activity, which can hydrolyze membrane lipids into fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The vital role of PLPs in plant growth and abiotic stress has been well documented. However, the function of PLPs in plant defense responses against pathogens is still poorly understood. Here, we isolated and identified a novel cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) PLP gene GhPLP2. The expression of GhPLP2 was induced upon treatment with Verticillium dahliae, the signaling molecules jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ETH) in cotton plants. Subcellular localization revealed that GhPLP2 was localized to the plasma membrane. GhPLP2-silenced cotton plants were more susceptible to infection by V. dahliae, while the overexpression of GhPLP2 in Arabidopsis enhanced its resistance to V. dahliae, which was apparent as mild symptoms, and a decrease in the disease index and fungal biomass. The hypersensitive response, deposition of callose, and H2O2 accumulation triggered by V. dahliae elicitor were reduced in GhPLP2-silenced cotton plants. The overexpression of GhPLP2 in Arabidopsis resulted in the accumulation of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2) and α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3) and facilitated the biosynthesis of JA and JA-mediated defensive responses. GhPLP2 silencing in cotton plants consistently reduced the accumulation of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2) and α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3) and suppressed the biosynthesis of JA and the defensive responses mediated by JA. These results indicate that GhPLP2 is involved in the resistance of cotton to V. dahliae by maintaining fatty acid metabolism pools for JA biosynthesis and activating the JA signaling pathway.
