meal, and hulls only if all available seeds were processed for
these products. Table 10 shows potential yields of 28, 39, and
21 million pounds of seed oil, meal and hulls, respectively.
 Utilization of citrus seed oils has been evaluated (23), and
some unusual applications have been proposed. Kaplan (29)
patented the use of grapefruit seed oil as a lubricant and pre-
servative to treat textile fibers such as silk, wool and rayon;
Stambovsky (44) discusses utilization of citrus seed oil as a
food, in paints, and for soaps.
