Term Definition Source
Cold pressed soy oil Soy oil produced from undamaged, mature, cleaned yellow soybeans by mechanical processing and filtering, without the application of heat. (unspecified)
Cold test A test which determines how well the high melting point portions of an oil have been removed during processing to produce a "salad" or "winterized" oil. In the test the oil sample is held in an ice water bath (32?F) and the time required for the first appearance of cloudiness is noted as "Cold Test Hours". A cold test of only a few hours means that oil will separate readily into liquid and solid portions at low storage temperatures. (unspecified)
Confection sunflower Also known as non-oil or edible sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Includes seed for human consumption and bird food. (unspecified)
Cooking oil A refined, bleached, and deodorized oil which has not been further processed to remove the higher melting point portions of the oil. Cooking oils tend to crystallize or set up semisolid at temperatures much below about 70?F. For this reason, heating coils should be installed in storage tanks for cooking oils in contrast to salad oils where no heating coils are usually necessary. (unspecified)
Copra The dried flesh of coconut from which the oil is extracted. (unspecified)
Copra meal The ground residue which remains after removal of most of the oil from dried meat of coconuts by either mechanical or solvent extraction process. (unspecified)
Corn bran The outer coating of the corn kernel, with little or none of the starchy part of germ. AAFCO, 2000
Corn feed meal The fine siftings obtained from screened cracked corn, with or without its aspiration products added. AAFCO, 2000
Corn flour The fine sized hard flinty portions of ground corn containing little or none of the bran or germ. AAFCO, 2000
Corn germ meal (wet milled) Ground corn germ from which most of the solubles have been removed by steeping and most of the oil removed by hydraulic, expeller, or solvent extraction processes, and is obtained in the wet milling process of manufacture of corn starch, corn syrup, or other corn products. AAFCO, 2000
Corn gluten feed The part of the commercial shelled corn that remains after the extraction of the larger portion of the starch, gluten, and by the processes employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup. It may or may not contain one or more of the following: fermented corn extractives, corn germ meal. AAFCO, 2000
Corn gluten meal The dried residue from corn after removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. It may contain fermented corn extractives and/or corn germ meal. AAFCO, 2000
Corn grits The medium sized hard flinty portions of ground corn containing little or none of the bran or germ. May also appear in the ingredient list of a mixed feed as hominy grits. AAFCO, 2000
Cotton linters See Linters (unspecified)
Cotton plant by-product The residue from the ginning of cotton. It consists of cotton burrs, leaves, stems, lint, immature seeds, and sand and/or dirt. It shall not contain more than 38% crude fiber, nor more than 15% ash. It must be labeled with minimum guarantees for crude protein and crude fat and maximum guarantees for crude fiber and ash. If it contains more than 6.5% ash, the words "sand" and/or "dirt" must appear in the product name. AAFCO, 2000
Cottonseed cake (or cottonseed flakes), mechanical extracted The unground product composed of the kernel and such portions of the lint, hull, and oil as remain after removal of most of the oil from cottonseed by a mechanical process. It must contain not less than 36% crude protein. AAFCO, 2000
Cottonseed flakes, solvent extracted Product obtained by finely grinding the cake which remains after removal of most of the oil from the cottonseed by a solvent extraction process. It must contain not less than 36% protein. AAFCO, 2000
Cottonseed hulls The outer covering of the cottonseed. AAFCO, 2000
Cottonseed meal, mechanical extracted Product obtained by finely grinding the cake which remains after removal of most of the oil from the cottonseed by a mechanical extraction process. It must contain not less than 36% protein. AAFCO, 2000
Cottonseed meal, solvent extracted Obtained by finely grinding the cake which remains after removal of most of the oil from the cottonseed by a solvent extraction process. It must contain not less than 36% protein. AAFCO, 2000
