Some residents prefer to buy bulk edible oil, and experts caution to avoid buying mixed oil mixed with non-detoxified cottonseed oil. Cottonseed oil is similar in color to rapeseed oil and tasteless. When mixed with rapeseed oil, the taste of rapeseed oil will not change. Experts from the Food Engineering Department of the College of Life Science and Technology of Xinjiang University said that gossypol in cottonseed oil without detoxification is very toxic, which has toxic effects on human nerves and blood vessels, has strong toxicity to gastrointestinal mucosa, and has serious damage to heart, liver and kidney. Long-term consumption of this oil or food fried with this oil also has toxic effects on human reproductive system, causing reproductive system dysfunction, ranging from gynecological diseases of women to infertility of couples of childbearing age, which can seriously cause gossypol poisoning and death.

According to the engineer of Xinjiang Grain and Oil Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Station, some lawless elements adulterate fake products, shoddy them, and mix low-priced oil with high-priced oil for sale. The most common is rapeseed oil mixed with cottonseed oil. So the oil that finally reaches the hands of consumers becomes mixed oil. Moreover, at present, retailers and wholesalers of bulk oil have no equipment for cleaning oil drums. After a long time, impurities and oil stains in oil drums accumulate more and more, which also leads to problems in the quality of bulk oil.

Experts remind that rapeseed oil is not "frozen" in the refrigerator. At a certain temperature, rapeseed oil will not solidify when it is cold, but will thicken, while cottonseed oil will solidify. You can put the oil in the refrigerator to identify the authenticity. (Reporter He)
