Flowable cottonseed and method for its preparation

A coated cottonseed product, comprising:

• intact or whole cottonseed and a cured coating prepared from a coating composition comprising:
• (a) glutamic acid fermentation solubles, condensed glutamic acid fermentation solubles, a nutritive by-product of monosodium glutamate production or Proteferm (a nitrogen source which is a fermentation product of monosodium glutamate production),
• (b) one or more organic acid(s) and
• (c) a metal compound that interacts with said one or more organic acid(s) to form a coating on said cottonseed.

A method for producing a coated cottonseed product, comprising:

• coating whole or intact cottonseed with a coating composition comprising:
• (a) a liquid feed product selected from the group consisting of condensed glutamic acid fermentation solubles, glutamic acid fermentation solubles, a nutritive byproduct of monosodium glutamate production, and Proteferm (a nitrogen source which is a fermentation byproduct of monosodium glutamate production),
• (b) one or more organic acid(s) and
• (c) a calcium salt that interacts with said one or more organic acid(s) to
• produce a coating on the cottonseed;
• and
• curing the coated cottonseed formed thereby.
