Claims (31)

1. A corn oil composition comprising corn oil characterized by:

a free fatty acid content of no greater than 5% w/w based on the total weight of the composition;

an iodine value of not greater than 125;

a combined moisture and insoluble content of no greater than 1% w/w based on the total weight of the composition; and

a further component selected from the group consisting of:

a lutein content of at least 50 mcg/g,

a cis-lutein/zeaxanthin content of at least 10 mcg/g,

an alpha-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g,

a beta-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g,

an alpha-carotene content of at least 0.5 mcg/g, and

a cis-beta-carotene content of at least 0.1 mcg/g.

2. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the free fatty acid content comprises at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of C16 palmitic, C18 stearic, C18-1 oleic, C18-2 linoleic, and C18-3 linolenic.

3. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises an unsaponifiables content of no greater than 3% w/w based on the total weight of the composition.

7. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the further component comprises an alpha-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g.

8. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the further component comprises a beta-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g.

9. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the further component comprises an alpha-carotene content of at least 0.5 mcg/g.

10. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a beta-carotene content of at least 1 mcg/g.

11. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the further component comprises a cis-beta-carotene content of at least 0.1 mcg/g.

12. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises an alpha-tocopherol content of at least 50 mcg/g.

13. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a beta-tocopherol content of at least 2 mcg/g.

14. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a gamma-tocopherol content of at least 300 mcg/g.

15. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a delta-tocopherol content of at least 15 mcg/g.

16. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises an alpha-tocotrienol content of at least 50 mcg/g.

17. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a beta-tocotrienol content of at least 5 mcg/g.

18. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a gamma-tocotrienol content of at least 80 mcg/g.

19. The corn oil composition of claim 1 , wherein the oil composition further comprises a delta-tocotrienol content of at least 5 mcg/g.
