Kapok fibre production by-products, commonly used to extract kapok oils. Their oil contains unusual cyclopropenoid fatty acids, so proper refining is needed before food use. Valorising the seeds turns a fibre-industry residue into a secondary source of edible and soap-making oil. Collecting and processing them adds rural income streams where kapok trees grow, illustrating how by-product use improves the economics of fibre crops. Mechanical pressing followed by refining yields the usable oil. Proper storage keeps seed quality high before extraction.
