Refined Corn Oil
Refined corn oil is extracted from maize kernels, purified to remove impurities, and used primarily for cooking and frying. It falls under HTS 1515.29.00 as a fraction of corn oil that is refined but not chemically modified, distinguishing it from crude versions in 1515.21.
Corn Oil Lecithin Fraction
Corn oil lecithin is a phospholipid fraction separated from corn oil through degumming, used as an emulsifier in food and cosmetics. Classified under HTS 1515.29.00 as an unmixed fraction of corn oil, not chemically modified.
Degummed Corn Oil
Degummed corn oil has gums and phospholipids removed via water or acid treatment, a preliminary refining step for edible oil production. It qualifies for HTS 1515.29.00 as a refined fraction of corn oil without chemical modification.
Neutralized Corn Oil
Neutralized corn oil undergoes alkali treatment to remove free fatty acids, producing a stable oil for salad dressings and margarine. HTS 1515.29.00 covers this as a refined, unmixed corn oil fraction.
Bleached Corn Oil
Bleached corn oil is treated with adsorbents like clay to remove color pigments, enhancing clarity for consumer packaging. It is classified in HTS 1515.29.00 as other refined corn oil fractions.
Deodorized Corn Oil
Deodorized corn oil is steam-stripped under vacuum to eliminate odors and volatile compounds, yielding premium frying oil. Falls under HTS 1515.29.00 for fully refined corn oil fractions.
