Corn oil is a nonhydrogenated oil derived from the kernel of corn. The refined product is tasteless and odorless. High in polyunsaturates, it is used for frying, as a shortening in baking., salad dressings, margarine, etc. Corn oil is also used as a skin soother and softener (emollient). It is rich in linoleic acid, one of the three essential fatty acids.
For many years, production of specialty varieties of corn grown for a particular end-use has steadily increassed.
Japanese wood oil or China wood oil, the tung oil is taken from the seed kernels of the Tung tree and is used in making wood finishes. Tung oil is considered a drying oil much as linseed, safflower, and soybean oil.
Tung oil is most often used as the primary ingredient of high-quality varnishes to overcome its softness and its ability to scratch easily. It can be polymerized (heated without oxygen to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit) or mixed with varnish to improve its drying speed and hardness. A glossy sheen can also be achieved.
Unfortunately, tung oil has become a generic term for a wipe-on finish. You will have to read the label in detail. Also, if it dries slowly it's probably an oil/varnish blend. If it becomes tacky in twenty minutes or less, it's probably wiping varnish.
Rice bran oil contains the highest amount of all natural vitamin E in liquid form. It is also rich in phytic and ferulic acids, which promote microfoliation (a gentle form of exfoliation) while helping balance melanin production. It also contains proanthrocyanidins, which protect collagen and elastin to ensure suppleness of the skin. Rice bran oil is particularly high in fatty acids. It is excellent for mature, delicate or sensitive skin. Rice Bran Oil is recommended for skin care and massage products. It's shelf life is six months to one year. An emollient oil similar to other nonvolatile plant oils. Rich in vitamin E. It has a smaller molecule than wheat germ oil making it much easier to penetrate the skin. Contains high percentages of oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Is extracted from Rice Bran and is mild-flavored. Rice bran oil has a very high smoking point, which makes it perfect for frying.
LSEO supplies oils and fats, such as the olive oil, for various utilizations and industries, from pharmaceutical grade to lubricants. Please see below some general information on the olive oil.
Pressing tree-ripened olives extracts a flavorful, monounsaturated oil that is prized throughout the world both for cooking (particularly in Mediterranean countries) and for salads. Today's marketplace provides a wide selection of domestic olive oil (most of which comes from California) and imported oils from France, Greece, Italy and Spain. The flavor, color and fragrance of olive oils can vary dramatically depending on distinctions such as growing region and the crop's condition. All olive oils are graded in accordance with the degree of acidity they contain. The best are cold-pressed, a chemical-free process that involves only pressure, which produces a natural level of low acidity. In agriculture, olive oil is an oil extracted from the fruit of the European olive tree (Olea europaea L.), which originated in the Mediterranean area. It is used in cooking, cosmetics, and soaps. Olive oil is regarded as a healthy dietary oil because of its high content of monounsaturated fat.
Extra-virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, contains no more than 0.8% acidity, and is judged to have a superior taste. There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil. Extra-virgin oil typically has a noticeable green color.
Virgin olive oil with an acidity less than 2%, and judged to have a good taste. There can be no refined oil in virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is a blend of virgin oil and refined virgin oil, containing at most 1% acidity. It commonly lacks a strong flavor.
Olive-pomace oil is a blend of refined olive-pomace oil and possibly some virgin oil. It is fit for consumption, but it may not be called olive oil. Olive-pomace oil is rarely found in a grocery store; it is often used for certain kinds of cooking in restaurants.
Lampante oil is olive oil not used for consumption; lampante comes from olive oil's ancient use as fuel in oil -burning lamps. Lampante oil is mostly used in the industrial market.
Olive oil has a very distinctive flavor, and has become more prominent in American cooking today. Grades of olive oils are determined by the methods of extraction and the acid content of the resulting oil. Virgin olive oils are those obtained from the first pressing of the olive without further refinement. The finest olive oil is extra virgin, with an acid content of 1%. Following this are superfine at 1.5%, fine at 3%, and virgin at 4%.

More info on palm oil
Oil from the fruit of a palm tree, (elaeis guineensis), native to tropical west africa and cultivated in africa, indonesia, malaysia, and tropical america as the source of palm oil. The palm oil contains a very high percentage of saturated fat. Growing to a height of 15 m, the palms produce fleshy fruits, 3 cm long, containing a white kernel within a hard black shell. Palm oil is extracted from the pulp and kernel and used in making soaps, margarine, lubricants, etc. When used in soaps, palm oil creates a hard, long lasting bar of soap that is mild and cleanses well. Palm oil has similar characteristics to tallow in soaps.
Natural rapeseed oil contains erucic acid, which is mildly toxic to humans in large doses but is used as a food additive in smaller doses. Canola is one of many selected cultivars of rapeseed bred to have a low erucic acid content. Canola was developed in canada and its name is a contraction of "canadian oil, low acid". The name was also chosen partly for marketing reasons, so successfully that the name is sometimes mis-applied to other cultivars of rapeseed.
Processing of rapeseed for oil production provides rapeseed animal meal as a by-product. The by-product is a high-protein animal feed, competitive with soya. The feed is mostly employed for cattle feeding, but also for pigs and chickens (though less valuable for these). The meal has a very low content of the glucosinolates responsible for metabolism disruption in cattle and pigs.
Rapeseed leaves are also edible, similar to those of the related kale. Some varieties of rapeseed are sold as greens, primarily in asian groceries.
Rapeseed is a heavy nectar producer, and honeybees produce a light colored, but peppery honey from it. It must be extracted immediately after processing is finished, as it will quickly granulate in the honeycomb and will be impossible to extract. The honey is usually blended with milder honeys, if used for table use, or sold as bakery grade. Rapeseed growers contract with beekeepers for the pollination of the crop.

Edible safflower oil is the fully refined, bleached and deodorized vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of carthamus tinctorius:
The chief interest in edible safflower oil lies in the fact that it contains about 75% linoleic acid, with total unsaturated acids of about 94%.
The anti oxidant used in edible safflower oil is 0.01% propyl gallate, 0.005% citric acid. This has been found effective for stabilization against rancidity.
A number of medical research organizations have reported that the principle ingredient of edible safflower oil, linoleic glyceride, is beneficial in controlling or perhaps preventing arteriosclerosis.
Coconut oil is made by pressing the coconut meat ("copra"). Used in frying and as an ingredient in many packaged goods. Because this oil is high in saturated fats, many food makers are replacing it with more costly unsaturated oils.
Coconut oil is rich in short and medium chain fatty acids. Lauric acid, the major fatty acid from the fat of the coconut, has long been recognized for the unique properties that it lends to non-food uses in the cosmetic and soap industry. It is extensively used in soap making for it's lather and moisturizing properties and in lotions and creams. Coconut oil is often described by it's melting point. 76 degree coconut oil will begin to solidify between 72 and 78 degrees. Soap makers generally have a preference based on their formulas and individual methods of producing soap. More recently, lauric acid has been recognized for its unique properties in foods which are related to its antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal functions.
