Excerpt from An Evaluation of Methods for Determining the Linters Content of Cottonseed
Principal differences in the methods of analysis are the means by which the cottonseed are fumed. Fuming can be accomplished by means of heat under pressure, under normal atmospheric conditions and in partial vacuum. In this study, fuming under normal atmospheric conditions and under vacuum were used. Under consideration were the forced-draft method, the infra-red method and the vacuum method. In the first two methods, heat is applied in a normal atmosphere by forced hot air and infra-red heat, respectively.
