Winterized corn oil is refined corn oil that has been chilled and filtered to remove waxes and high-melting-point triglycerides, keeping it clear at low temperatures. It is a fraction of refined corn oil and is captured under this SITC heading. Buyers should specify winterization in purchase contracts, as it commands a price premium and has distinct technical specifications.
