DESCRIPTION

Corn Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as an amber-colored oil. It is obtained from the corn plant Zea mays (Fam. Gramineae), usually by solvent extraction of the corn germ. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and other non-oil materials. It is a liquid at 21° to 27°, but traces of wax, unless they are removed by winterization, may cause the oil to cloud when cooled to low temperature. It is free from visible foreign material (other than wax) at 21° to 27°.
