Dephenolized cottonseed protein is a high-protein product obtained through the further dephenolization of cottonseed meal or by removing the lint and shell of cottonseed, extracting the oil at a low temperature, and subsequently eliminating toxic substances (gossypol). This paper presents a review of the latest advancements in the dephenolization methods, quality characteristics, and application domains of dephenolized cottonseed protein. It focuses on enhanced dephenolization methods, and summarizes the composition, structural characteristics, functional properties, and recent research developments. Additionally, it identifies challenges, opportunities, and new directions for future research on dephenolized cottonseed protein, which will contribute to advancing the field of dephenolized cottonseed protein research.
