Kapok seed oil, used as an edible oil, and in soap production.[51]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kapok seed oil is a pressed seed oil, from the seeds of the kapok (Silk-cotton tree). It has a yellow color and a pleasant, mild odor and taste.[1]. It has similar characteristics to cottonseed oil. It becomes rancid quickly when exposed to air. Kapok oil is produced in India, Indonesia and Malaysia. It has an iodine value of 85-100, which makes it a nondrying oil. This means that it does not dry out significantly when exposed to the air.[1]. Kapok oil has some potential as a biofuel and in paint preparation.
